The answer to the question
This is the concept of algebra, to calculate the proportion of wool in each item we proceed as follows;
Let the amount of wool used for hat be x
amount of wool in sweater will be 5x
the amount of wool used in scarf will be x-5
therefore the total amount of wool will be:
x+5x+(x-5)=550
x+5x+x-5=550
7x-5=550
7x=550+5
7x=555
hence;
x=555/7
x=79
the amount used in hat x=79g
amount used in sweater 5x=395g
amount used in scarf=79-5=74g
65 total test items were on the test.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smallest number = x
The next number will be x + 1
x + x + 1 = 5
2x + 1 = 5 This is likely the answer to the question although it could be the equation above.
I don’t know really but my guess is 62%
