Out of a total of 2,000 boxes, 40% were red. 50% of the red boxes were sold. a. How many red boxes were sold? b. How many boxes were not red in color? plz help and teach me how to mark as brainliest so i can do that to people who help me

400 red boxes were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Our output value is 2000.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with x.

Step 3: From step 1 above,2000=100%.

Step 4: Similarly, x=40%.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

2000=100%

x=40%(2)

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

2000/x = 100%/40%

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

x/2000 = 40%/100%

x=800

Therefore, 40% of 2000 is 800

and to find 50% just divide by 2

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
