Answer:
<u>The original number is 96.875</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's find the original number using the Direct Rule of Three, this way:
Percentage Number
100 x
96 93
***********************************************
96x = 93 * 100
96x = 9,300
x = 9,300/96
x = 96.875
<u>The original number is 96.875</u>
What you can do is subtract 1x from each side
Then you subtract 3 from each side
Then it tells you x=2
Always put what you think x is back into the problem and see if it works out
Example on how you do it:
(x+5)=(2x+3)
5=(x+3)
2=x
Answer:
11x-8
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the width.
If the length is 14 inches longer than the width, it can be represented by w + 14.
Use the perimeter formula, p = 2l + 2w. Plug in 60 as the perimeter and w + 14 as l, then solve for w:
p = 2l + 2w
60 = 2(w + 14) + 2w
60 = 2w + 28 + 2w
60 = 4w + 28
32 = 4w
8 = w
So, the width is 8 inches
3/4 = 9/12
2/3 = 8/12
9/12 - 8/12 = 1/12
So Johnny ran for 1/12 of an hour longer than Angie.
