34 = q + n
6.1 = .25q + .05n
-1.7 = -.05q - .05n
6.1 = .25q + .05n
4.4 = .2q
q = 22
22 of the coins are quarters.
It is important to do the
calculations very carefully. Otherwise there is nothing complicated about this
problem.
Let us assume the unknown number = x
Then
40x/100 = 55
40x = 55 * 100
40x = 5500
x = 5500/40
= 550/4
= 137.5
So
55 is 40% of 137.50. I hope the procedure is clear to you and in future
you can solve such problems on your own without requiring any help from
outside.This is the simplest way of solving such
problems.
Ben wanted to take some money from his Friends to build his family a home. He said that he would give the money back after 12 months. So he would give 1500$ a month. How much money did he borrow?
1500*12=x
Matilda got also money, she told Ben, I got x $ from my dad and y $ from mom. all they gave me was 5000$. If I gave mom Half of the moneys I got from her than I would have 3000$ left to pay. How much did she borrow from her parents?
x+y=5000
and
x+y/2=3000
so x=5000-y
and
5000-y+y/2=3000
so
x=5000-y
and
y=4000
so x=1000 and y=4000
Answer:
Malcolm would fill 8 bags of rice.
Step-by-step explanation:
The size of the container of rice = 5
pounds = 
pounds.
Each bag of rice has a capacity of 
pounds.
The number of bags of rice that Malcolm fills = 
= ÷
= x 
= 
= 8
Therefore, Malcolm would be able to fill 8 bags of rice.
