The product of two more than a number and ten is thirty-six more than eight times the number so what is the number?

call the number you are looking for n product means multiply so 10(n+2)=8n+36 10n+20=8n+36 2n=16 n=8 Lets check it 10(2+8) should equal 36+(8)(8) or 100=36+64 which it does. 100 should should equal


72 is 36 percent of what number?

The Answer is 2520 No it is not--- to find the answer first convert the % to a decimal so 36% would look like 36. and THEN move the decimal over 2 spaces to the left (this is just a rule to remember) 36% is the same as .36 Then simply multiply by the number given so 36% of 72 would look like .36 * 72 and the answer is 25.92 A tip to remember is that 100% of a number is THE SAME NUMBER so 100% of 72 is 72 So if you are looking for 36% (which is less than 100%) your answer will obviously be less than the original number (in this case less than 72)--so obviously the poster who says the answer is 2520 is incorrect same for the opposite direction--if you are looking for 200% (greater than 100%) of a number your answer will be GREATER than the original number--so usually on multiple choice math tests you can eliminate 2 of the options right off the bat by simply applying that tip to them.


How would you explain the equation 7x-12 is less than 4x plus 36?

The equation 7x-12 is less than 4x plus 36 means just what it says7x - 12 less than 4x + 36To solve this, treat it like ordinary algebra and solve for x, replacing the equals sign with the less than sign. Remember that if you multiply or divide by a negative number, then the less than sign flips over and becomes the greater than sign.7x - 12 less than 4x + 367x less than 4x + 487x - 4x less than 483x less than 48x less than 16


How do you write Doubling the quantity of a number decreased by six is less than negative thirty-six?

You could use: 2x-6 < -36


Nine less than one fourth of a number is 6 find the number?

Let the unknown number be x: 1/4x-9 = 6 Multiply all terms by 4 in order to eradicate the fraction: x-36 = 24 x = 24+36 x = 60
