Since 1/10=10^-1, and multiplying exponents with the same base just adds the actual exponents at the top, x=2
~For this problem, you need to divide.
~The easy way that I think might help you is if you change the fraction into a decimal.
Now divide $8.47 by 0.875
The price per pound of the coffee was $9.68
Electric current? Why is the thing math lol.
First, lets set up the equation.
0.25x + (1/8)x + 24 = 60
The variable x will be equal to the total amount of the paycheck. We used 0.25 of the paycheck on the first item bought, 1/8 on the second item bought, and then 24 more dollars. After assembling the equation, we merely need to solve for x to find the value of the paycheck. I'll be converting 1/8 to 0.125 at this point for simplisity's sake.
Subtract 24 from both sides.
0.25x + 0.125x = 36
Combine like terms on the left side.
0.375x = 36
Divide both sides by 0.375.
x = 96
The total is A, 96 dollars.
