Question 286561: Could you please let me know if I did this problem correctly? If 540 million metric tons of carbon dioxide is released in the air per year and 35% of it is from other fuels, how much carbon dioxide is emitted? What I came up with is: 540/x * 35/100= 35x/54000. 54000 divided by 35= 1542.857142. Did I do it correctly? Please advise. Thank you. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is not clear.
You said 540 million tons is emitted, then you ask how much is emitted. ??
You said 540 million tons.
