Algebra.Com's Answer #102282 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A) It takes r cm of ribbon to make a bow. We have s meters of ribbon. How many bows can we make? \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "it should be apparent that you would divide the amt of ribbon you have, by the amt it takes to make each ribbon \n" ); document.write( "Let no. of ribbons made = A \n" ); document.write( "then \n" ); document.write( "A = \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "B) 20% of 3x+12=P. \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "20% = .2, therefore: \n" ); document.write( ".2(3x+ 12) = P \n" ); document.write( "Multiply both terms by .2 \n" ); document.write( ".6x + 2.4 = P \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( " What is 120% of 5x+20? \n" ); document.write( "120 = 1.2 \n" ); document.write( "1.2(5x = 20) = 6x + 24 \n" ); document.write( " |
