Answer:
1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y=7
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two numbers,
x
,
y
. We know two things about them:
2
x
+
y
=
25
3
x
−
y
=
20
Let's add these two equations together which will cancel the
y
:
5
x
+
0
y
=
45
x
=
45
5
=
9
We can now substitute in the
x
value into one of the original equations (I'll do both) to get to
y
:
2
x
+
y
=
25
2
(
9
)
+
y
=
25
18
+
y
=
25
y
=
7
3
x
−
y
=
20
3
(
9
)
−
y
=
20
27
−
y
=
20
Learn this and it can answer all ur percent problems
percent formula : is/of = %/100
36 is 75% of what number...
is = 36
% = 75
of = x.....because that is what u are looking for.
now sub into the percent formula
is/of = %/100
36/x = 75/100
cross multiply because this is a proportion
75x = 36(100)
75x = 3600
x = 3600/75
x = 48
so 36 is 75% of 48
