Answer:

<em>$120</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

40% of the earnings is spent on rent.

The earnings is an unknown, so we call it x.

The rent is $800, so 40% of x equals $800.

40% * x = 800

0.4x = 800

x = 800/0.4

x = 2000

She earns $2000 per month.

After paying rent, the remaining amount is

$2000 - $800 = $1200

She spends 10% of the remaining amount on entertainment.

10% of $1200 = 10% * $1200 = 0.1 * $1200 = $120

6th grade math help me please !
antiseptic1488 [7]

First we have to figure out how much 3 bags cost using the total cost of $8.25

That means. we would do 8.25/3 and 8.25 divide by 3 equals 2.75.

Now we know that each bag costs approximately $2.75

All we have to do now is multiply 2.75 by 4 to get the cost for the total of 4  bags.

4 times 2.75 is exactly 11 dollars, if might change if theres tax.

But, the answer would be 4 bags costs $11.

Maria and Katy each have a piece of string. When they put the two pieces of string together end to end, the total length is 84in
Serga [27]

Answer: the length of Maria's piece of string is 45 inches.

the length of Katy's piece of string is 39 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of Maria's piece of string.

Let y represent the length of Katy's piece of string.

When they put the two pieces of string together end to end, the total length is 84inches. This means that

x + y = 84 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Maria's string is 6 inches longer than Katy's. This means that

x = y + 6

Substituting x = y + 6 into equation 1, it becomes

y + 6 + y = 84

2y + 6 = 84

2y = 84 - 6 = 78

y = 78/2 = 39

x = y + 6 = 39 + 6

x = 45
