If you do the proportion, you have to put 1/5 = 20/100. The 20 represents the percentage. Then you have to say to yourself that how many time 5 goes to 100, well its x20 then if we multiply 1 x 20 we'll get 20. So, he is correct, 1/5 = 20%. Remember what number we think of when we hear the word percent, the number is 100.
Answer:
Let S = price of sweater
Let P = price of pants
S + P = 89.47 because that was the total spent
S = P - 8.53 because the sweater is 8.53 less than pants
Substitute P-8.53 in place of S in the
1st equation and solve for P
P - 8.53 + P = 89.47
2P - 8.53 = 89.47 add 8.53 to both sides
2P = 89.47 + 8.53
2P = 98.00 divide both sides by 2
P = 98.00/2
P = $49.00
S = P - 8.53
S = 49.00-8.53
S = $40.47
A sweater costs $40.47 and the pants cost $49.00
6(x+2)
you just factor 6 from the expression
hope this helps
I think X is 2. But I am not sure, cuz I don’t know what you teacher is really asking you to do.
