The answer is 7x = 6(x + 15)
x - Jim's rate
y - Pete's rate
<span>Jim completed half the floor in 7 hours: 7x = half of the floor
</span><span>Pete completed the other half of the floor in 6 hours: 6y = half of the floor
So: 7x = 6y
</span><span>Pete can lay 15 more tiles per hour than Jim: y = x + 15
</span>7x = 6y
y = x + 15
Substitute the second equation into the first one:
7x = 6(x + 15)
Answer:
3.78
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage solution with steps:
Step 1: We make the assumption that 9 is 100% since it is our output value.
Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$.
Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=9$.
Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=42$.
Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:
$100\%=9(1)$.
$x\%=42(2)$.
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
$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{9}{42}$
Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields
$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{42}{9}$
$\Rightarrow x=466.67\%$
Therefore, $42$ is $466.67\%$ of $9$.
Answer:
The manager skipped June
Step-by-step explanation:
In the first bar we can see the sales are from
January - February
Then,
March - April.
But then, the store manager goes from
May - July,
and totally skipped June, therefore making it look like the sales have increased.
Every calculation with multiple operations must abide to BODMAS (Brackets, Other, Divide, Multiple, Addition, Subtraction)
Thus we would multiple first, giving us 86138220. Then we would add giving us: 86145009
