Answer:

30 × 8.8 = 30 × (8 + 0.8) = 240 + 24 = 264

Step-by-step explanation:

I want to buy 30 calculators that cost $ 8.80 each.

So, to calculate the total price, we have to multiply 8.8 with 30.

Now, we have to calculate this multiplication mentally.

To do this, we can write the multiplication as 30(8 + 0.8).

So, we can separately multiply 30 with 8 and calculate it mentally to be 240 and then multiply 30 with 0.8 and calculate it mentally to be 24 and finally add the two products.

Therefore, 30 × 8.8 = 240 + 24 = 264 (Answer)

Determine if each pair of ratios or rates is equivalent. Explain your reasoning. 288 miles on 12 gallons of fuel; 240 miles 10 g

lesantik [10]

Yes they are equivalent. This is because if you simplify each fraction : 288/12 and 240/10 they both equal 24.
$\frac{288}{12} = 24$
$\frac{240}{10} = 24$

Determine the value of a 10 year old car that costs $24,500 new and depreciates by 9% every year

son4ous [18]

First, we need to know how much the car depreciates each year. Multiply the price of the car by the percentage.

We can turn 9% into a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the right.

9% = .09

24500 * .09 = 2205

Multiply the product by the amount of years you want to predict the price at.

2205 * 10 = 22050

Subtract that from the original price of the car.

24500 - 22050 = 2450

The value of a 10 year old car that costs $24500 and depreciates 9% every year will cost $2450.

Answer:

10+8x=y

Step-by-step explanation:

The 10$ is added on because it's a one time exchange and the 8 is multiplied by the x because for every hour you add 8$ to the price and y is the total price at the end depending on x.

A bike rental service charges a $23.50 initial flat rate and then an additional $5.40 per hour. Write an equation in the slope-i

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

y = 5.4x + 23.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the service charges $23.50 for every hour, you have to multiply x by 23.5 like this: 23.5

There is a flat fee of $23.50, so you have to add 23.5 on top of that like this: 5.4x + 23.5

All of this has to add up to y; 5.4x + 23.5 = y
