Answer:
58
Step-by-step explanation:
1. let x be the unknown number
2. make an expression
x + 26/12 = 7/1
3. cross multiply
x +26 × 1 = x + 26
12 × 7 = 84
x + 26 = 84
4. move variables on one side and numbers on other side of the equal sign
x + 26 = 84
- 26 -26
x = 58
High school math classes are more advanced than middle school math classes
1 gallon of milk costs 0.50 more than 5 times a gallon of water.
From that information milk is 5x +0.50 the cost of water.
The cost of milk is $3.75, so now we have:
3.75 = 5x + 0.50
Subtract 0.50 from each side:
3.25 = 5x
Divide both sides by 5:
X = 3.25 / 5
x = 0.65
The cost of water = $0.65
Since 80% of the 300 total points is 240, and we have 127 so far, 240-127=113 as a minimum
