Answer:

Brand A

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

The question is  one of finding out what the unit cost is.

Brand A: $4.59 has a count of 40

Brand B: $3.99 has a count of 30

Brand A

unit = 4.59 / 40 = 0.115

<em>Rounded: 0.12</em>

Brand B

unit = 3.99 / 30 = 0.133

<em>rounded: 0.13</em>

Brand A even with proper rounding is the better buy

Answer:

  Brand A

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost comparison can be done a variety of ways. The most formal of solutions will calculate the cost per bag for the two brands.

<h3>Informal solution</h3>

The cost for 10 bags of Brand B is $3.99/3 = $1.33. The cost for 10 more bags (40 bags instead of 30) of Brand A is $4.59 -3.99 = $0.60. This is less than the $1.33 it would cost to buy 10 more bags of Brand B, so ...

  Brand A is the better buy

<h3>Formal solution</h3>

The cost per bag is found by dividing the cost by number of bags:

  Brand A: $4.59 / (40 bags) = $0.11475 per bag

  Brand B: $3.99 / (30 bags) = $0.133 per bag

13¢ per bag is more than 11¢ per bag, so Brand A is the better buy.

What is 30% of 70. show your work<br>​
mamaluj [8]

Answer: 21

Step-by-step explanation:

we have two simple equations:

1) 70=100%

2) x=30%

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

70/x=100%/30%

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 30% of 70

70/x=100/30

(70/x)*x=(100/30)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by

70=3.33333333333*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.33333333333) to get x

70/3.33333333333=x

The fore, the answer is 21

Find the quotient. 12a^3p^4 ÷ -2a^2p
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

-(6ap³)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the quotients of

\frac{12a^{3}p^{4}}{-2a^{2}p}

We take the common 2a² p from the numerator

= \frac{(6ap^{3}(2a^{2}p))}{(-2a^{2}p)}

= -(6ap³)

Therefore, the quotient after division will be -(6ap³)
