Answer: 4 - (xxx/555)
Explanation:
four less = four minus
quotient = the answer of a division problem
a number = the variable
the quotient of a number xxx and 555 = a number xxx divided by 555
To solve this problem you must apply a theorem called: Intersecting secant theorem. The proccedure is shown below:
1) For the figure shown on the left:
(5)(x+5)=(6)(4+6)
5x+25=60
5x=60-25
x=35/5
x=7
2) For the figure shown on the right:
(3)(3+5)=(4)(x+4)
24=4x+16
24-16=4x
8=4x
8/4=x
x=2
42%
You have essentially a fraction, 21/50, which gives you a decimal of 0.42, or 42%.
(Flipped a total of 50 times, of those, it landed red side up 21 times, so 21/50)
