In hopes of encouraging healthier snacks at school, brian brought in a tray of carrot sticks and apple slices to share. the tray had a total of 60 snacks, of which 20% were carrot sticks. how many carrot sticks did brian bring?

40 %  of the snacks were carrot sticks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of carrot sticks in lunch = 18

Total number of apple slices in lunch = 27

So, Total Snacks in the Lunch = Carrot Sticks + Apple Slices

                                                  = 18 +  27 = 45

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15
