Let's first find the equation to find what the population went up to. X, will be the population of last year.
1.15x=76,894
Now, we need x by itself, so we need to divide both sides by 1.15.
76,894÷1.15≈66,864
There are decimals, but for this problem, hae .3478 of a person would not fit.
We can check our answer.
66,864×.15=10,029.6
10,029.6+66,864=76,893.6 (rounds up to 76,864)
So the population of the town last year was about 66,864 (66,864.3478) people.
The fraction he added is 6/30, or 1/5.
I'm not 100% sure about the equation you want me to use but I did the work this way:
5/6+x/30=31/30 (the denominator has to equal 30 because you are adding. You need a common denominator which is why you need to change 5/6. We can label the numerator as a hidden value x)
25/30+x=31/30
You can then work backwards and basically subtract 25 from 31 and get 6; so x=6
Find m∠BOC, if m∠MOP = 110°.
Answer:
m∠BOC= 40 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
A diagram has been drawn and attached below.
- OM bisects AOB into angles x and x respectively
- ON bisects ∠BOC into angles y and y respectively
- OP bisects ∠COD into angles z and z respectively.
Since ∠AOD is a straight line
x+x+y+y+z+z=180 degrees

We are given that:
m∠MOP = 110°.
From the diagram
∠MOP=x+2y+z
Therefore:
x+2y+z=110°.
Solving simultaneously by subtraction

x+2y+z=110°.
We obtain:
x+z=70°
Since we are required to find ∠BOC
∠BOC=2y
Therefore from x+2y+z=110° (since x+z=70°)
70+2y=110
2y=110-70
2y=40
Therefore:
m∠BOC= 40 degrees
For this case we must represent the following expression algebraically:
"eight more than the product of a number and two"
Let "x" be the variable that represents the unknown number
We have to:
the product of a number and two is represented as: 
Then, the full expression will be:

Thus, we use multiplication and addition.
