Remember, a percent is a fractional part of 100. In a bag of candy, 15 of the 50
pieces are red. What percentage of the
candy is red?
mex
B 50%.
C 3006
D 659

The answer would be 30% (although I don't see that as an answer).

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because when you multiply the denominator times a number that makes the denominator 100 and multiply that same number by the numerator you get the percentage of the sample you are looking at on the numerator.

15/50 = (15*2)/(50*2) = 30/100 = 30%

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2

collect results in alphabetical order:

answer:   {x = -1/2 ,   y = -1
