Let x = Initial Price
If we increase x by 5%, we are adding 0.05x
Therefore, the new price = x + 0.05x = 1.05x
If the ticket has increased by £2.30, £2.30 is 5% of the initial price, or 0.05x
0.05x = 2.30
x = 2.30/0.05
x = 46
Therefore, the price of the ticket before the increase was £46
You can also check this backwards by doing 46*0.05 = 2.30
Answer:
119
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the number of baskets (56) by the denominator:
56 ÷ 8 = 7
Multiply by 7 to get the amount of 2 point baskets and multiply by 1 to get the amount of 3 point baskets. (they both add up to 56 baskets)
7 × 7 = 49
7 × 1 = 7
multiply the 49, 2 point baskets by 2 and the 7, 3 point baskets by 3 and add them together to get the total points.
49 × 2 = 98
7 × 3 = 21
98 + 21 = 119
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
Mass of apples = number of containers × mass in each container
6 lb = No of containers × ½ lb
No of containers = 6/½
To divide a whole number by a fraction, invert the fraction and change divide to multiply.
6/½ = 6 × 2/1
Multiply the numerator by the whole number.
6 × 2/1 = 12/1
Simplify the fraction.
12/1 = 12
Elise can make 12 containers of applesauce.
