In order to subtract mixed fractions, we must convert them into improper fractions first. To do this simply multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator. The product of this operation will be the new numerator (the whole number is no longer present).

(56 + 7)/8 - (12 + 1)/4
= 63/8 - 13/4

Now that we have our fractions in improper form, we must find the least common denominator which is 8. To avoid changing the value of the second fraction, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 (which is essentially 2/2 which equals to 1).

63/8 - 26/8
= 37/8

In the equation, there is 0.02 attached to the x. This means multiplication. TO get rid of the 0.02, you need to do the opposite of multiplication. That is division.

\frac{0.02x}{0.02} =\frac{40}{0.02}

x=2000

50 cent = 0.5 dollar

According to question,

x is the number of 50¢=$0.5 price increases.

b(x) is the revenue generated

He currently charges $3 per book.

i.e. price of book = 3+0.5x

Quantity or average = 38 per day

According to a study, for every 50¢ increase in rental price, the average business can expect to lose 4 rentals a day.

i.e. quantity became 38-4x

Revenue = Price × Quantity

The required equation is given by,
