The vet said that Eva's cat, Chuckles, needs a special diet. So, Eva feeds Chuckles dry food in the morning and [tex]$\frac{3}{4}$[/tex] of a cup of wet food in the evening. In all, Eva feeds Chuckles [tex]$1 \frac{1}{4}$[/tex] cups of food each day.
Which equation can you use to find the amount of dry food [tex]$d$[/tex] Eva feeds Chuckles?
[tex]$\frac{3}{4} d=1 \frac{1}{4}$[/tex]
[tex]$d+\frac{3}{4}=1 \frac{1}{4}$[/tex]
[tex]$d-\frac{3}{4}=1 \frac{1}{4}$[/tex]
[tex]$d+1 \frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}$[/tex]
Solve this equation for [tex]$d$[/tex] to find the amount of dry food Eva feeds Chuckles.
To write a fraction, use a slash ( / ) to separate the numerator and denominator.

Answer (3)
It would be 120 because 4% of 125 is 5, so you subtract 5 from 125 to get 120. I am pretty sure that's how you do it
125 ∗ 100 100 − 4 = 125 ∗ 100 96 = 25 125 ∗ 24 = 5 ∗ 24 = 120
125 pounds decreased by 4% is 120 pounds, which is found by calculating 4% of 125 (which is 5) and then subtracting this value from 125.
