In this question it is important to note down all the important information's that are mentioned in the question.
Cost of a container of cat liter = $13.75
Cost of a bag of cat food = X dollars
Total amount of money required to purchase the items = $20.80
Percentage of sales tax that had to be given = 4%
Then
Amount of sales tax given = (4/100) * 20.8 dollars
                                           = 20.8/25 dollars
                                           = 0.83 dollars
Then the total purchase price for the two items = 20.80 - 0.83 dollars
                                                                            = 19.97 dollars
Now we can easily find the cost of the cat food by subtracting the cost of the liter from the total purchase amount.
Then
Cost of the cat food = 19.97 - 13.75 dollars
                                 = 6.22 dollars
So the cost of the bag of cat food is $6.22

Jill had some candy to give to her five
Mama L [17]
She started with 32 pieces.

Explanation: If she had 5 children and each child received 5 pieces, you can determine that she gave her children a total of 25 pieces because 5 x 5 = 25. If she took 7 pieces for herself before giving the rest away, you can determine that she had 32 pieces of candy to start with because 25 + 7 = 32.

Solve 7x + 6 < 3(x - 2).
sasho [114]
7x+6=3x-6
    +6       +6
7x+12=3x
-3x       -3x
 4x+12=0
-4x         -4x
 divide both sides by -4 but you have to flip the sign.   
-3>x
or  
{x | x < -3}

The size of the largest angle in a triangle is 3 times the size of the smallest angle.
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

a = 29

b = 64

c = 87

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angles be a (smallest), b, and c (largest).

We know that a triangle's angles must add up to 180 degrees, so we can construct the following equations.

a + b + c = 180

c = 3a

b = a +35

With some solving and substitution...

a + (a + 35) + c = 180

2a + c = 145

2a + (3a) = 145

5a = 145

a = 29

and therefore,

b = 29 + 35 = 64

c = 3(29) = 87
