First what you wanna do is get y by it’s self. To do that is to first add 5 on each side.
-5+3y=-4
+5 +5
3y= 1
Than you divide 3 on each side and it would give you y=1/3 if it’s a fractions problem but if you looking for decimals you would have to divide 1 by 3 which gets you .33333333.
~For this problem, you need to divide.
~The easy way that I think might help you is if you change the fraction into a decimal.
Now divide $8.47 by 0.875
The price per pound of the coffee was $9.68
Answer:
<u>The number is 296.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call "x" to the number we are looking for.
Now, the problem states that "5 more than the quotient of a number and 8 is 42". This means that this number is being divided by 8, it's also being additioned 5 and the final result is 42. Therefore, the expression of this operations on this number is the following:
. Let's solve the equation to find x.
1. Write the expression.

2. Substract 5 from both sides and simplify.

3. Multiply 8 on both sides and simplify.

<u>We have found our number, it's 296!</u>
Answer:
788.13 to the nearest hundredth.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A be the total amount in the account after 3 years.
The formula is A = P(1 + x/100)^t .
Here P = 5000, x = 5 % and the time t = 3. years.
Amount after 3 years = 5000(1 + 5/100)^3
= 5788.13
So the Interest is 5788.13 - 5000
= 788.13.
<span> You must make it a fraction by multiplying by 100, moving the decimal over by 2 spaces right so we have 36. Then, put it over 100, because it is a fraction. Now, with 36/100 we must simplify by dividing each number by another # that goes into it evenly, such as 2. We get 18/50, reduce by 2, we get 9/25. There you go hope I helped </span>
