Serenity picked 75% of the apples of a tree in her backyard. If she picked 30 apples, how many apples were on the tree to begin with?

Given:

Serenity picked 75% of the apples of a tree in her backyard.

She picked 30 apples.

To find:

The number of apples on the tree in the beginning.

Solution:

Let x be the number of apples on the tree in the beginning.

Serenity picked 75% of the apples of a tree in her backyard.

Number of apples picked = 75% of x

                                           =

                                           =

She picked 30 apples.

Multiply both sides by 4.

Divide both sides by 3.

Therefore, the number of apples on the tree in the beginning is 40.

m1=5,m2=0

compare the two slopes in the decimal form. if the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel. if the slopes are not equal, then the lines are not parallel.
