Use this to solve:
4/5 = 16/x
Since these are equivalent fractions;
you can divide 16 by 4
then multiply by 5
that should give you the original price of the bean bag chair!
Combine like terms, find greatest common factors, and reduce fractions
The correct answer for this question would be option B) 18.8 units or the second option.
X = 1 hr lessons and y = 1/2 hr lessons
x + y = 35......y = 35 - x
40x + 25y = 1115
40x + 25(35 - x) = 1115
40x + 875 - 25x = 1115
40x - 25x = 1115 - 875
15x = 240
x = 240/15
x = 16 <=== there are 16 one-hr lessons
and 19 half-hr lessons
You are adding 18%, which makes it 118% of original employees
Times 450 by 1.18 = 531
