Answer:
m = 7.1
Step-by-step explanation:
3 (m -5) + 8 = 7 -1/2 (4m - 11)
So, what I did first was distribute the values in the parenthesis to get,
3m - 15 + 8 = 7 -2m -5.5
Now that we have the parenthesis taken care of we can do the simpler math,
3m - 23 = 7 -2m - 5.5
I just added the 15 and 8, so now I move the -5.5 to the opposite side by adding.
3m - 23 = 7 -2m -5.5
<u> +5.5 +5.5</u>
3m - 28.5 = 7 - 2m
Here we can do the same with the -2m.
3m - 28.5 = 7 - 2m
<u>+2m +2m</u>
5m - 28.5 = 7
To get rid of the -28.5 I added it to the 7 getting an answer of,
5m - 28.5 = 7
<u> + 28.5 +28.5</u>
5m = 35.5
Finally, divide 5m and 35.5 both by 5.
5m/5 = m
35.5/5 = 7.1
Answer: m=7.1
Sorry it's really long, but I hope this helps! Have a great day!
Answer:
$56.25
Step-by-step explanation:
3% of 750, then multiply by 2.5
$60 for 2 hours and $100 in total for 2 hours of work and the service fee
Out of 1,200 students, 700 are boys. Therefore, the fraction would be
.
To convert this into a percentage, divide 700 by 1,200.
= 0.583333 (or just 0.583 if you round)
Multiply 0.583
by 100 to get a percentage.
0.583 · 100 =
58.3So, the percent of boys at the school is
58.3%.
