(6 times 2x) + (6 times 5y)
Answer:
<u> The total amount = $175</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total amount in his bank account = x
Nick decided to take 2/5 of the money in his bank account and donate it to a local charity
So, he donates with 
If nick donated $70 to a local charity
so, 
solve for x
∴ x = 5*70/2 = 350/2 = $175
<u>So, The total amount = $175</u>
Remark
The trick to this question is realizing what you took 1/3 of. Did you take it of the 150000 or is it 1/3 of some total you have to find. I don't think you could come up with a third choice.
It turns out that the answer is 1/3 of a number you don't know.
Equation
(1/3) x = 150000 Multiply both sides by 3
3*(1/3) x = 150000 * 3
x = 150000 * 3
x = 450000
Conclusion
The amount the company makes is 450000 dollars / year.
Percentage of pages of a book read by Katie = 32%
Total number of pages of the book read by Katie = 80
Let us assume the number of pages that the book has = x
Then
(32/100) * x = 80
32x = 80 * 100
32x = 8000
x = 8000/32
= 250
So the book has a total of 250 pages in it.
Then
The number of pages that Katie still needs to read = 250 - 80
= 170
So Katie needs to read 170 more pages in the book.
