Abdullah and Kanna are working on the same problem.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Leona [35]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Abdullah is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bottle contained originally 12 fl oz, so 12 fl oz is 100%.

The box now contains 20% more, so now it contains 120% of 12 fl oz.

120% * 12 fl oz = 1.2 * 12 fl oz = 14.4 fl oz

Also, 20% is 1/5. Abdullah divided 12 oz into 5 equal parts, and then he added one more 1/5. He interpreted the problem correctly. The amount in the new bottle is the amount of the old bottle plus 20% of that old amount.

Kanna considers the original amount to be 80%. When he adds another 20%, he is adding 1/4 of 12 which is too much. That is why he gets an incorrect answer that is to high. He interpreted the problem incorrectly. For him, the old bottle has 20% less than the new bottle. That is incorrect.

Abdullah is correct.

So you first want to move all variables to one side.

2x = 1/8 + 4x

So perform the opposite of each operation to move it.

2x - 4x = 1/8 + 4x - 4x

-2x = 1/8

And then just divide both sides by -2

-2x / -2 = 1/8 / -2

x = -1/16

What is the solution to the equation 41/5 =15-(2x+3)
likoan [24]
\frac{41}{5}=15-(2x+3) \\\\ \frac{41}{5}=15-2x-3 \\\\ \frac{41}{5}=12^{(5}-2x^{(5} \\\\ 41=60-10x \\\\ 41-60=-10x \\\\ -19=-10x \\\\ 19=10x \\\\ \boxed{x=\frac{19}{10}}
