Answer:
$1.25
September
$30
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's take this a step a time.
First we need to find how much the price of the flowers were in September.
We know that each flower cost $1.50 on October.
The October price was a 20% increase of the September price.
To calculate for the price of the flowers on September, we can solve it like this:
Let x = Price during September
1.2x = 1.50
We used 1.2 because the price of $1.50 is 120% of the original price.
Now we divide both sides by 1.2 to find x.
x = 1.25
The price of the flowers during September was $1.25 each.
Now the 7th grade class earned 40% of the selling price of each flower.
40% = 0.40
To find how much they made on each month, we simply multiply the percentage to the price and the number of flowers sold.
September = 0.40 x 1.25 x 900
September = 0.5 x 900
September = $450
Now for October.
October = 0.40 x 1.50 x 700
October = 0.6 x 700
October = $420
The 7th Graders earned more on September.
They earned $30 more on September than October.
Answer: 6 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
For this exercise let "x" represents your present age.
According to the information provided in the exercise, you know that In three years, Chad will be three times your present age.
Then, your age in three years can be represented with the following expression:
Knowing at that time Chad's age will be three times yours and you will be half as old as old as Chad, you can write the following equation to represent this situation:
Therefore, the final step is to solve for "x" in order to find its value.
You get that this is:
