we'd do the same as before on this one as well.
if we take 27.99 to be the 100%, what is 12 off of it in percentage?
Answer: Mark has 28 marbles while Don has 85 marbles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of marbles that Mark has.
Let y represent the number of marbles that Don has.
If Don has 1 more than 3 times the number of marbles Mark has, it means that
y = 3x + 1
The total number of marbles is 113. It means that
x + y = 113- - - - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting y = 3x + 1 into equation 1, it becomes
x + 3x + 1 = 113
4x + 1 = 113
4x = 113 - 1 = 112
x = 112/4
x = 28
y = 3x + 1 = 3 × 28 + 1
y = 85
