in a certain warehouse , 30 percent of the packages weigh less than 75 pounds , and a total of 48 packages weigh less than 25 pounds . if 80 percent of the packages weigh at least 25 pounds , how many of the packages weigh at least 25 pounds but less than 75 pounds ?
"if 80 % of the packages weigh at least 25 pounds this means that 20 % of the packages weigh less than 25 pounds let t = total number of packages so , 20 % of t = # of packages that weigh less than 25 pounds 48 packages weigh less than 25 pounds great . so , 20 % of t = 48 rewrite to get : 0.2 t = 48 solve : t = 240 30 % of the packages weigh less than 75 pounds so , 30 % oft = number of packages that weigh less than 75 pounds 30 % of 240 = 72 , so 72 packages weigh less than 75 pounds of those 72 packages that weigh less than 75 pounds , 48 packages weigh less than 25 pounds . so , the number of packages that weight between 25 and 75 pounds = 72 - 48 = 24 = c"
subtract(divide(multiply(multiply(divide(48, subtract(const_100, 80)), const_100), 30), const_100), 48)
