Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller number is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let larger number = x and  smaller number = \dfrac{2}{3} x32x

To find, the smaller number = ?

According to question,

x+\dfrac{2}{3} x=45x+32x=45

⇒ \dfrac{3x+2x}{3} =4533x+2x=45

⇒ 5x=45\times 35x=45×3

⇒ 5x=1355x=135

⇒ x =\dfrac{135}{5} =27x=5135=27

∴ Smaller number =\dfrac{2}{3} \times 27=2\times 9 =18=32×27=2×9=18

Hence, the smaller number is 18.

Noah was assigned to make 64 cookies for the bake sale. He made 25% MORE than that. How many cookies did Noah make? Explain how
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

8 cookies were left after the bake sale. 72 were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

64*1.25= 80

80*.9= 72

8

125% of 64 is equal to 80.

90% of 80 is equal to 72.

The number left was 10% of the number he made. The number he made was 125% of 64, so the number left was 8

 10% × 125% × 64 = 0.125 × 64 = 8

thats all i could really come up with at the top of my head
