To find any percentage of something, just multiply the whole value by the percentage of whatever you're trying to find the value of. 
17% converted to a decimal is 0.17. 400*0.17 = 68.
Jonathan has 68 blue marbles in his collection.
Hope that helped you!

Raj tried to solve the system below.
jekas [21]

Answer: Option C) Raj forgot the negative when substituting -15+9x for y.


Solution:

(1) 9x-y=15

(2) 2x+8y=28

Isolating y in the first equation. Subtracting 9x both sides of the equation:

(1) 9x-y-9x=15-9x

Subtracting:

(1) -y=15-9x

Multiplying both sides of the equation by -1:

(1) (-1)(-y)=(-1)(15-9x)

(1) y=-15+9x

Then Raj found the value of y. It's not option D.

Substitutng y by -15+9x in the second equation:

(2) 2x+8(-15+9x)=28

Then option C) is the answer: Raj forgot the negative when substituting -15+9x for y.

Eliminating the parentheses applying the distributive property in the multiplication:

(2) 2x-120+72x=28

Adding similar terms:

(2) 74x-120=28

Solving for x. Adding 120 both sides of the equation:

(2) 74x-120+120=28+120

Adding:

(2) 74x=148

Dividing both sides of the equation by 74:

(2) 74x/74=148/74

Dividing:

(2) x=2

Solving for y: Replacing x by 2 in the first equation:

(1) y=-15+9x

(1) y=-15+9(2)

Multiplying:

(1) y=-15+18

Subtracting:

(1) y=3
