Remark

Reading the problem is more than 1/2 the trouble you will have with this question.

Start phrase by phrase.  Let the number = x

The first phrase is 8 times a number so that is 8x

increased by 9. So that is 8x + 9

exceeds 7 times the number 8x + 9 - 7x

by 15 (translate that to equals 15)

Equation

8x + 9  -  7x = 15      Combine like terms.

x + 9 = 15                  Subtract 9

x = 15 - 9

x = 6

Turn it into math terms bit by bit. let x be "a number"

8 times a number is 8×x

increased by 9 is +9

7 times a number is 7×x

exceeds is minus

by 15 is =15

now we put it together.

8 \times x + 9 - 7 \times x = 15
solve
8x + 9 - 7x = 15 \\ x + 9 = 15 \\ x = 6

A company sells boxes of small blue pom-poms (b) for $42 and boxes of large orange pom-poms (p) for $52. They make batches of sm
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

b = 40 - p

42b + 52p = 350

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : No. of small blue pom-pom boxes = b

            No. of large orange pom-poms    = p

           cost of 1 box of blue pom pom = $42

           cost of one  large orange pom-pom box = $52

Solution:

Since we are given that the company has only 40 boxes

⇒b+p=40

⇒b=40-p

Since cost of 1 box of blue pom pom = $42

So, cost of b box of blue pom pom = $42b

Since,cost of one  large orange pom-pom box = $52

So,cost of p  large orange pom-pom box = $52p

We are also given that the company plan to make $350

⇒42b+52p=350

Hence Option b is correct

b = 40 - p

42b + 52p = 350

sergiy2304 [10]
The key word here is "or". If it's an OR question, you add the probabilities together. If it says "and", you multiply them together
As it is an OR question though, you add them. 
So: 
15 + 5 = 20%

Azim wants to buy a tablet computer that is priced 180.50 if the sales tax rate on the computer is 8% how many dollars and cents
madreJ [45]

Answer: 98.1%

Explanation:

A 10% sale means that the post-sale price of the item is now 90%, or 0.9 of the original cost of the item. We then apply 9% sales tax by multiplying the 0.9 by 109%, or 1.09. 0.9 * 1.09 = .981, so the total cost of the item is 98.1% of the original pre-sale sticker price.

For percentage problems that do not deal with a specific starting number, it is always helpful to plug in 100 for the starting number. Here, we would then have a post-sale price of 90 dollars, and if we calculate the sales tax for the 90-dollar item it would be 90 * 0.09 = $8.10. THis gives us a total cost of 90 + 8.10 = $98.10, or 98.1% of the original 100-dollar price.
