Elio bought the turkey while it was on sale for $4/pound. We need to know how much they paid, not how much they saved on the sale. The price that the turkey usually costs is not important to answer this question. So the fact that turkey usually costs $5.50 is not needed to solve the problem.
Answer: C. 7.5%
Solve as decimal
0.5*0.15=0.075
Move two decimal points over
0.075 -> 7.5
Change back to percent
7.5%
8×.25=2
8-2=6
so what you would do is make a bar graph where the y axis would be years and the x axis being height
1.) ¹²/₉ = ⁴/₃
Simplify the fraction so it’s easier to work with.
2.) ⁴/₃ = ⁸/x
Make ⁴/₃ equal to ⁸/x because since you want to find the new width, you need to make it equal to a new fraction.
3.) 4x = 24
Cross multiply.
4.) x = 6
Divide each side by 4.
