Abasket contains 14 red apples. the rest of the apples are green. the number of red apples is 70% of the total number of apples. how many total apples are in the basket?

Cross multiply 14 and 100 than divide by 70
The ? represents the total amount and the 70/100 represents 70 percent ANSWER IS 20

Look, when you want to do something like put it like x^2. x2 could mean x² or x₂. so to clear confusion, know the notation. to find the product multiply the x's and you get -8x and the y's and you get 6y. since it's all being multiplied it is just -8x6y, or answer a. although the better answer is -48xy(combining -8 and 6) because you should multiply constants whenever you can.
