Step 1: We make the assumption that 498 is 100% since it is our output value.
Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$x.
Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=498$100%=498.
Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=4$x%=4.
Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:
$100\%=498(1)$100%=498(1).
$x\%=4(2)$x%=4(2).
Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS
(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have
$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{498}{4}$
100%
x%=
498
4
Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields
$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{4}{498}$
x%
100%=
4
498
$\Rightarrow x=0.8\%$⇒x=0.8%
Therefore, $4$4 is $0.8\%$0.8% of $498$498.
Answer:
x < 33.84
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
13.48x-200 < 256.12
Solve for x
Adds 200 both sides
13.48x-200 +200 < 256.12+200
13.48x < 456.12
Divide by 13.48 both sides
13.48x/13.48 < 456.12/13.48
x < 33.84
The solution is the interval ----> (-∞, 33.84)
All real numbers less than 33.84
You just subtract 300 from 800 to get 500 people
Answer:
Denpeds on the left hand side of nagetive of the inequality sign
Step-by-step explanation:
you are "hiding" some more information (like how much they made together).
without that we cannot calculate the actual values.
all I can do is set up the equations expressing the given relations between the parts of the total :
a = amount Alberto made
b = amount Benjamin made
c = amount Carlota made
b = 3×a
c = 2×b = 2× 3×a = 6×a
that's it.
your see ? now we need something that "ties" all 3 together, an equation of all 3 variables, where we can use the first 2 equations (by substitution) and then solve for the remaining third variable.
and that is missing.
if it is something like "together they made x", then we would have
a + b + c = x
a + 3a + 6a = x
10a = x
a = x/10
b and c we get then from the first 2 equations by simply using the calculated value of a :
b = 3×(x/10) = 3x/10
c = 6×(x/10) = 6x/10 = 3x/5
