Latoya's softball team won 75%, or 18, of its game. Define a variable. Write and solve an equations to determine the number of games the team played. Will give brainliest

18 / 3 * 4 = a

a = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

so we know that 18 is = to %75 but we need to know what %100 is, to figure this out lets find a common denominator

so we know that %75 of something is 3/4, and to double check, we can take the fraction 3/4 and divide it the way its written, bc thats what a fraction is, a small division problem

3 / 4 = 0.75 or 75/100 or %75

so now we know we have 3 out of 4 parts of something, to find out how big each part is, we divide the number (18) by how many pieces we have...

18 / 3 = 6

so each 1/4 is = to 6, now to figure out the whole, we multiply by how many pieces are in said whole, in this case by 4

6 * 4 = 24

so since we know that 6 is = to %25 and we multiplied 6 by 4, we can do the same to %25...

25 * 4 = 100

and have the whole

this is basically a detailed explanation of the other answer

hope this helps :)

relating to or denoting a system of numbers and arithmetic based on the number ten, tenth parts, and powers of ten.

step-by-step explanation:

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
