500 is the answer because 500 is much closer
Convert 9/5 and -4/5 to decimal form
= 1.8 and -0.8
so answer is -2.5 , -1.1 . -0.8, 0.8, 1.8
= -2.5, -1.1 , -4/5, 0.8, 9/5
Total = 3^x, where x is the number of jobs worked.
Let x = 7th job:
Total = 3^7 = 2187 pennies. = $21.87
In every right triangle, if you add up the squares of the two
shorter sides, you get the square of the longest side. If you
don't then it's not a right triangle.
10² = 100
24² = 576
100 + 576 = 676
676 is the square of 26.
It's NOT the square of 28.
So 10 - 24 - 28 is not a right triangle.
