To solve this problem you have to convert the percentage to a decimal which would
be .40.
40% =40/100=.40
After doing so all you need to do is divide the amount needed by the percentage which gives you the amount she has saved.
225/.40= $90
Lauren has $90 saved
Let's call the angles x and y. We know that supplementary angles must add to 180 degrees, so x+y=180.
Furthermore, we know that x is 75% more than 2y. We can write "75% more than" numerically as 1.75, so x = 1.75(2y).
We can simplify the second equation by multiplying 1.75 and 2 together to get x = 3.5y.
Now we can solve the system of equations by substitution by plugging 3.5y in for x in x+y=180.
(3.5y) + y = 180
Combine like terms.
4.5y = 180
Divide by 4.5
y = 40
Plug y = 40 in and solve for x.
x + 40 = 180
x = 140
The answer is 40 and 140. Hope this helps :)
You first divide the number by 100 and then multiply it by the percentage that you are given
Answer:
n = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
1.2n - 1.5 = 0.45n
collect like terms
1.2n - 0.45n = 1.5
0.75n = 1.5
divide both side by 0.75
0.75n/0.75 = 1.5/0.75
n =2
