So if Lisa's reading list is 20% fiction, that's 20/100. So how can you simplify 20/100 so that the top number (the numerator) is 5?
If you divide both numbers by 4 (the same as dividing the fraction by 4), then you get 5/25. That means 5 out of 25 books are fiction. Her reading list is 25 books long.
Just pick a number
i’ll pick 2
and solve the equations
1. 6(2+12)
12+72
84
2. 6(2)+12
12+12
24
3.3(2(2)+4)
3(4+4)
3(8)
24
your answer is D
expressions 2 and 3 are equivalent
Answer:
C.) 21
Step-by-step explanation:
d = 22.5n + 27.5
Where d is the total amount of money earned and n is the number of items sold
Substitute:
500 = 22.5n + 27.5
We can substitute 500 for d because 500 is the total amount of money Kathryn wants to earn
Solve:
500 = 22.5n + 27.5
Subtract 27.5 on both sides:
500 = 22.5n + 27.5
-27.5 -27.5
472.5 = 22.5n
Divide by 22.5 on both sides:
472.5 = 22.5n
/22.5 /22.5
21 = n
Therefore, Kathryn must sell 21 items to make $500.
