In a sofa store 30% of the sofas are leather. 40% of the leather sofas are black. what percentage of the total number of sofas are made form black leather?

12%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

% of leather sofas = p(A) = 30% = 30/100 = 0.3

% of leather sofas that are black = p(B) = 40% = 40/100 = 0.4

The percentage of total sofas made from leather = p(A) * p(B)

= 0.3 * 0.4

= .12

= 12%  

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
