The answer would be 12.599
Answer:
$2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we (always) highlight key details. In this case, we would highlight that th candy is 90 cents per pound, and the she bought 2.5 pounds. Now, we just multiply 2.5 by .90, and boom! We get $2.25. Mrs. Nixon spent $2.25 (or two dollars and twenty-five cents) on candy bars.
Assuming your question can be rewritten as:
"What number is 10% greater than 7,962"
7962 * 110% = itself + 10%
= 7962 * 1.10 <----- (1.10 = 110%)
= 8758.2
In this problem, we're going to use the 'PEMDAS' method.
First, we're doing the problem in the parenthesis.
44 - 4 = 40
Next in PEMDAS, we need to do the exponent.
6² = 6 x 6 = 36
Then we would do multiplication, but there is nothing to multiply so we move onto division.
40 / 2 = 20
Now we would add, but there is nothing to add so we move onto subtraction.
20 - 36 = -16
Our final answer would be -16.
Hope this helps!~
