Answer:
5 bags
Step-by-step explanation:
Given Marianne buys 16 bags of potting soil which come in 5/8 pound bags
The above provides 10pounds of potting soil already
Now her father says he needs 13 pounds So Marianne should get an extra of 13 - 10 =3 pounds of potting soil
We know that 1 bag contains 5/8 pounds of potting soil
x bags contain 3 pounds of potting soil
On cross multiplication we get

x =
since x is an integer x = 5 bags
Note that an extra amount of soil will be remained unused
Saying "a number" is the same as saying "x"
"Three more than a number" is the same as "three more than x"
If you have three more of something (say, marbles) than someone else, then you have their number of marbles plus three more.
Then, "Three more than x" is the same as "three plus x", or "3 + x"
Hope this helps! :)
Assuming that the 4.8% interest rate is an annual interest rate, then, after one year, with a principal of $3,000 we would be able to win 4.8% of $3000:

Divide 144 over 12 to find the monthly earnings:

Therefore, with a principal of $3,000 we would be earning $12 interest in 1 month.
For the earnings on the first month to be equal to $10, then you would have to win $120 annually, and $120 must be 4.8% of the principal. To find which quantity satisfies that 4.8% of it is equal to $120, divide 120 over 4.8%:

Therefore, the principal must be equal to $2500 for you to win $10 on the first month, and it would indeed be correct to say that if you open an account with $3000 you will earn at least $10 interest in 1 month.
Fourteen hours. The equation is 5x+20=90. Solve for X.
