40% = .4 because % means hundredths. So 40% = 40/100 = .4
Let x be the total number of marbles.
Then, .4x = 24
Divide both sides by .4
x = 60 and 24 is 40% of 60 marbles
30+10x=70
40.00 - 19.50 = 20.50
20.50 ÷ by 2 = 10.25
each video cost
Geno now wants to write an equation to solve the problem. He let g = cost of a video game.
Which equation can be used to find the cost of each video game?
A. 2g = 19.5
B. 2g + 40 = 19.5
C. 2g –19.5 = 40
D. 19.5 + 2g = 40
