Jon earned $38,000 last year. He paid $6,840 for entertainment. What percent of his earnings did Jon pay in entertainment expenses? Please tell how you got it.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: If you would like to know what percent of earnings did Jon pay in entertainment expenses, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x% of $38000 is $6840
x% * 38000 = 6840
x/100 * 38000 = 6840
x * 380 = 6840 /380
x = 6840 / 380
x = 18%

The correct result would be 18%.

Answer 2

Answer: 18% of his earnings went towards entertainment expenses. I used the "is over of equals percent over 100" formula. I then cross multiply then divide. My work is shown.

How to work math problem -7/9(x=3)=14

Answers

$-(7)/(9)(x+3)=14\ \ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ (-(9)/(7))\n\n(-(\not9^1)/(\not7_1))*(-(\not7^1)/(\not9_1))(x+3)=-(9)/(7)*14\n\nx+3=-9*2\n\nx+3=-18\ \ \ \ \ |subtract\ 3\ from\ both\ sides\n\n\boxed{x=-21}$

-7/9(x=3)=14

-7/9x-7/3=14 (distribute)
-7/9x=49/3 (add 7/3 to both sides)

x=-21 (divide 49/3 by -7/9)

you can check if its correct by substituting back into the original equation

Can you solve 2/3(x+13)=22

Answers

$\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \left( x+13 \right) =22\n \n \frac { 3 }{ 2 } \cdot \frac { 2 }{ 3 } \left( x+13 \right) =22\cdot \frac { 3 }{ 2 }$

$\n \n x+13=\frac { 66 }{ 2 } \n \n x+13=33\n \n x=33-13\n \n x=20$

$(2)/(3)(x+13)=22\n2(x+13)=66\n2x+26=66\n2x=40\nx=20$

HECTOR PLANTED 185 FLOWERS IN 2 DAYS THERE WERE 5 VOLUNTEERS INCLUDING HECTOR WHO EACH PLANTED ABOUT THE SAME NUMBER OF FLOWERS ABOUT HOW MANY FLOWERS DIDTHEY PLANT SHOW YOUR WORK

possible answers:185, 400, 500, 1,000

these are the answers the problem gives me

Answers

Line up 185x5 on the paper as if you were doing any other multiplication problem. 185 on top, 5 on the bottom with the x sign to the left.5 times 5 is 25, drop the five, carry the 2, 5 times 8 is 40, plus the 2 we carried is 42, drop the two, carry the four, 5 times one is five, plus the four is 9. The answer is close to 1,000, so you'd circle the answer 1,000.

Let

x-------->number of flowers that the $5$ volunteers planted in $2$ days

we know that

$x=185*5\n x=(100+80+5)*5\n x=100*5+80*5+5*5\n x=500+400+25\n x=925$

therefore

the answer is

about $1,000$
