So, you start off with $3.50 you travle 6 miles every mile is 0.75 that means you would need to multiply 6 by 0.75.
6
0.75
it equals 4.5
So we have $4.50 we need to add $3.50 and in total $0.50 plus $0.50 would be a dollar + 3 dollars plus $4 would be 7 so 7 +1 is 8. and 8 is the answer.
-8 I think because it has a pattern
Let's assign a variable that is the number when multiplied by 10% it is equal to 0.1.
Well let that be x.
Now we want to convert the 10% into a decimal. To convert a percent into a decimal, simply move the % sign two places to the left and make it into a decimal point.
When we say "of" in mathematics what we really mean is to multiply.
0.10 * x = 0.1
That is the equation we need to find the value of x for.
Divide both sides by 0.10
0.10 * x = 0.1
The 0.10 on the left side cancels out.
x = 1
So, the answer to this question is if we multiply 10% by 1 we will get 0.1.
