5% = 0.5
0.5n = 85
Divide by 0.5
0.5n = 85
/0.5 /0.5
n = 170.
The number is 170.

Answer:
- 30m +50 = 20m +100
- m = 5
- yes. symmetric property of equality.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The expression for c in the first equation is (30m+50). Substituting that for c in the equation ...
c = 20m +100
gives you ...
30m +50 = 20m +100
__
2. Adding -50-20m to both sides gives ...
10m = 50
m = 5 . . . . . . . divide by 10
__
3. Doing the substitution in reverse, you would substitute (20m+100) for c in the equation ...
c = 30m +50
to get ...
20m +100 = 30m +50
This is the equation of part 1 with the expressions swapped to the other side of the equal sign. The symmetric property of equality tells you that changing sides of the equal sign does not change the value of the variable(s).
You get the same solution.
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.
