Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
2x2x13=52
2x2x5=20
52+20=72
The value of <em>d</em> is 7.5.
The key to solving equations is doing the inverse, or opposite, function/process.
For example, you subtract when d + 1 = 2:
d + 1 = 2
(d + 1) -1 = (2) - 1
d = 1
In the same way, you add values when you have a negative:
5.5 = -2 + d = d - 2
5.5 = d - 2
(5.5) + 2 = (d - 2) + 2
7.5 = d
Now if instead of adding 2, you subtract 2, the problem becomes:
5.5 = d - 2
(5.5) - 2 = (d - 2) - 2
3.5 = d - 4
This doesn't solve your problem, it just makes the value needed to be canceled out larger.
Thus d = 7.5 and you will add because the value is negative.
It is actually quite simple: they are asking for the probability:
there are different types of items and each types there is always at least a 25 cent difference in between (if you go up the or down the scale there will be a 25 cent difference to each type of item. They say that Sam wants to get one of the 8 items. The price at this point doesn't matter. If he wants 1 of the 8 types all you have to do is convert it into a fraction: 1/8. That is the answer
Hope I helped...
