The laundry has been sorted into dark clothes and light clothes. The number of dark clothes is three more than twice the number of light clothes. The laundry is 60% dark clothes. Choose the equation that best represents this scenario. x over quantity 2x plus 3 equals 40 over 60 x over quantity 2x plus 3 equals 60 over 40 x over quantity 2x plus 3 equals 40 over 100 x over quantity 2x plus 3 equals 60 over 100

    Expression for this situation will be .

Let the number of dark cloths = y

And the number of light cloths = x

"The number of dark cloths is three more than twice the number of light cloths".

Therefore, equation will be,

y = 2x + 3 ----- (1)

"The laundry is 60% dark cloths"

Equation for this statement will be,

y =

y = 0.6x + 0.6y

y - 0.6y = 0.6x

0.4y = 0.6x

Now substitute the value of y from equation (1),

  Therefore, expression for this situation will be .

x over quantity 2x plus 3 equals 40 over 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let light clothes=x

Number of dark clothes = 2x + 3,

Dark clothes are 60% of total clothes

Light clothes=100%-60%

=40%

Light clothes / dark clothes = percentage of light clothes / percentage of dark clothes

x / 2x+3 = 40 / 60

x over quantity 2x plus 3 equals 40 over 60

step-by-2step explanation:

hello :

by applying the distributive property :

6 × 4.3 = 6 × ( 4 + 0.3 )

            =   (6 ×   4) + (6 ×   0.3)

            = 24 + 1.8

6 × 4.3 = 25.8
