Set a ratio up, \[\frac{ 3 }{ 200 } = \frac{ x }{ 2500 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve for x weee

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know we do 2500 times 3 and that is 7500 so x=7500

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What about 200?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well. 200x=7500 so 200 times 7500=1500000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, we want to solve for x, don't take 200.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x = \frac{ 2500(3) }{ 200 }\] divide after :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12.5 if divide

OpenStudy (anonymous):
