If the store decreases its prices by 20%, then ur actually paying 80%
0.80(120) <=== ur expression
lets check..
0.80(120) = 96
120 - 0.2(120) = 120 - 24 = 96 (yep, it matches)
Answer:
a repeating term of .3
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 = 1 divided by 3
1 divided by 3 = .33333333333333333333
that is called a repeating term
= .3
Answer:
5⁄18 < x
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by adding like-terms [⅓ and 2⁄9] with 9 being the Least Common Denominator [LCD]. Since 2⁄9 already has a 9 in the denominator, it does not get touched, so in order to make ⅓ a denominator of 9, we simply multiply both terms by 3, to get 3⁄9. So, adding that to 2⁄9 gives you 5⁄9, also giving you <em>5⁄9</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>></em><em> </em><em>⅚.</em><em> </em>Now, we have to find the LCD again because we have two unlike fractions. Now, our Least Common Denominator is 18, so multiply both terms in ⅚ by 3 [15⁄18] and multiply both terms in 5⁄9 by 2 [10⁄18]. Now you have two like fractions to work with, and you can clearly see that your answer is <em>x</em><em> </em><em>></em><em> </em>5⁄18. Although the answer is written in reverse, it is still the same concept.
