Answer:
Step-by-step explanation :
Let x be the number.
x × 8/100 =48
x =48 × 100/8
Now cut 48 by 8 and we get 6.
x = 6 ×100
x =600
So 600 is the required number.
Let m and s be the number of math and sociology books sold respectively.
m=s+88 we are also told that:
m+s=426, using m found above in this equation gives you:
s+88+s=426 combine like terms on left side
2s+88=426 subtract 88 from both sides
2s=338 divide both sides by 2
s=169, since m=s+88
m=169+88=257
So 257 math and 169 sociology textbooks were sold.
-17/2
Step-by-step explanation:
30-8(8)+4y
30=64+4y
30-64=4y
-34=4y
y= -34/4
y= -17/2
hope it helps!
