Then make up a word problem that you can use decimals in.
You'll find it easier to understand if you illustrate the problem as what is shown in the attached picture. From the illustration and the problem description, two equations can be formulated:
HJ = 2JK
HJ + JK = HK
2JK + JK = 78
3JK = 78
JK = 78/3
JK = 26
Hi!
We will solve this using ratios, like this:
4 1/2 = 4,5 kg of olive oil for 27 $
1 kg of olive oil for x $
_____________________________
x = (27*1)/4,5
x = 27/4,5
x = 6 $ per kilogram
Hope this helps!
Jalen has total 63 comic books.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Total value of comic books = $3135
Let,
Number of $45 comic books = x
Number of $65 comic books = y
According to given statement;
45x+65y=3135 Eqn 1
x=y+33 Eqn 2
Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

Dividing both sides by 110

Putting y=15 in Eqn 2

Total comic books = x+y
Total comic books = 48+15 = 63
Jalen has total 63 comic books.
