Answer:
Value of x is 88
Step-by-step explanation:
We have,
Percentage of lentils in the soup = 36% = 0.36
Fraction of the lentils which are green = [tex]33\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Thus, the amount of green beans in the soup are = [tex]0.36\times 33\frac{1}{3}[/tex] = [tex]0.36\times \frac{100}{3}[/tex] = 0.36 × 33.3 = 11.99 ≅ 12.
So, the percentage of the green beans = 12%
The percentage of the original beans in the soup = (100-12)% = 88%
Hence, the value of x is 88.
