Answer:

2x + 1 = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the first integer is given as x then we can go ahead to find out the equation needed.

If the first integer is x, and the second integer considering it has to be an odd number, we chose, y. Thus, the equation we're interested in is

x + x+1 = 24

2x + 1 = 24

Therefore, the final equation is

2x + 1 = 24

If we take 1200 as the 100%, how much percentage is 700 of it?

well $\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
1200&100\\
700&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{1200}{700}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{700\cdot 100}{1200}
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{175}{3}$

so, (175/3)% or roughly 58.3%

now, how much is (175/3)% of 15000 ?
well, if we take 15000 as the 100%
then $\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
15000&100\\
x&\frac{175}{3}
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{15000}{x}=\cfrac{100}{\frac{175}{3}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{15000\cdot \frac{175}{3}}{100}=x\implies \cfrac{5000\cdot 175}{100}=x$
