To find the number we do the inverse of division, and that's multiplication. We multiply 8 x 5 x 3 to get 120, that's our number. So Fernando is thinking of the number 120, and we can prove that it's correct by dividing 120 / 3 then the result divide it by 5 and we get 8.

Simple, if you have the ending number as 8;

You divided it by 5. So go in reverse, and multiply by 5.

8*5=40

Then, do the same thing again, you divided it by 3, so multiply by 3.

40*3=120.

Thus, the number that Fernando gave to Maria is 120.

A backpack that normally sells for $39 Is on sale for 33% off. Find the amount of the discount and the sale price
Nataliya [291]
To get the price, you have to multiply the amount by the percent it would become.

100% of 39 is 39
It is 33% off
100 (1.00) - 33 (0.33) = 67% (0.67)

Remember, the percent is a decimal because it is part of a whole (1).

39*0.67=$26.13.

Does anyone understand how to solve this?
Nataliya [291]

a f(a) is the function f(x) where x is replaced by a.

So we have

(3x^2 + x + 3 - (3a^2 + a + 3)) / ( x - a)

= (3x^2 - 3a^2 + x - a) / (x = a) Answer

b (3(x + h)^2 + x + h + 3 - (3x^2 + x + 3)) / h

= (3x^2 + 6xh + 3h^2 + x + h - 3x^2 - x - 3) ) / h

= (6xh + h + 3 h^2) / h

= 6x + 3h + 1 Answer
