$4 is the original price of the jar consisting of peanut butter so therefor it = 100%. It's for sale at $3.60, so we divide $4 by 100% so we get the percentage for each cent and then we times it by 3.60 to get the percentage for $3.60 which is 90%. Now we subtract 90% from 100% to get the discounted percentage for 40cents :)
Answer: $2.50
for rounding to the tenths, look at the hundredths place and if it is more than 5 round up :)
Answer:
a = 9/2
Step-by-step explanation:
In order for the equation to be true, the value of the scalar multiplier must be ...
15/3 = -10/-2 = 35/7 = 5
So, you're solving ...
(2/3)a + 2 = 5
(2/3)a = 3 . . . . . . subtract 2
a = 9/2 . . . . . . . . multiply by 3/2
(-1, 5) because if you plug in -1 to both equations, you should get 5 from both equations. They also cross at that point, making that the solution.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
n and d are the number of nickels and dimes, respectively.
"there are 20 coins"
n+d = 20
d = 20-n
"total value is $1.40"
0.05n + 0.10d = 1.40
0.05n + 0.10(20-n) = 1.40
-0.05n + 2 = 1.40
0.05n = 0.6
n = 12
d = 20-m = 8
