Jason claims he has finished reading 25% of his book. If his book has 200 pages, how many pages has he read?

Jason has read 50 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

25% of 200 = 50

Remember "of" means multiply so you multiply 25% to 200

25% x 200

Convert 25% into a decimal

0.25 x 200 = 50

So Jason has read 50 pages.

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
