Five ice cream cones would cost 13.75 at the rate that each cone costs 2.75
It seems most likely that ...
... Samantha will save $37.50 because she must first find the 25% sale price before taking the extra 50% reduction
_____
In the real world, it seems probable that Samantha will be offered the choice of using the coupon <em>or</em> the sale discount. If she chooses tht 50% coupon, her savings will be $30. If she chooses the marked sale discount, her savings will be $15.
The scenario above assumes she gets 50% off the sale price of $45, so saves $15+22.50 = $37.50 off the original price.
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
1) a. x = number of cars
b. x - 12
2) a. x = number of packages
b. 16 + 1/2x
3) a. x = number of coins
b. 1/2x - 6
4) 17 + x = 78
Subtract 17 from each side.
x = 61
5) x - 33 = 78
Add 33 to each side.
x = 111
6) x * 84 = 327.6
Divide each side by 84
x = 3.9
7) 1333/8.6 = 155
The speed was 155mph.
8) 2475/110 = 22.5
The trip took 22 and a half hours. (Or "The trip took 22.5 hours."
