Let me help you visualize this one.
Let's say we have 12 chickens.
OOOOOOOOOOOO
We divide this group in half (1/2 who tried to cross the road.)
OOOOOO
And here, we need to get 3/4 of the 6 left.
3/4 can be represented as 0.75 of 1.
6 times 0.75 equals to 4.5.
OOOOC (Woah, that chicken is split in half!)
What fraction is 4.5 of the original amount?
Well, that's for you to find out! Good luck in solving this question.
The first thing we must do for this case is to define a variable:
x: number of years
y: total salary
We have then:
For first company:
y = 1500x + 31000
For second company:
y = 2000x + 28500
Equaling both equations we have:
1500x + 31000 = 2000x + 28500
Clearing x:
2000x - 1500x = 31000 - 28500
500x = 2500
x = 2500/500
x = 5
Answer:
It will take for the salaries to be the same about:
x = 5 years
4 miles= (10-s) x 1hr. S could stand for the speed of the wind, since it is taking away from the typical speed of the bike.
If you would like to know what was the percent decrease in price, you can calculate this using the following steps:
x% of $299.99 is $180.55
x% * 299.99 = 180.55
x/100 * 299.99 = 180.55
x = 180.55 * 100 / 299.99
x = 60.19%
100% - 60.19% = 39.81%
The correct result would be 39.81%.
Answer: 60%
Step-by-step explanation: 24/40 = .6 x 100 = 60
