I might want to use the commutative property to change the order of the integers in the following sum before adding the given expression

"-80 + (-173)+(-20)"

As commutative property states that " Changing the order of addends does not change the sum" which means if we add 'a' to 'b' or 'b' to 'a', we will get the same answer.

Therefore, here if we add '-80' to '-173' or '-173' to '-80' , or if we add '-173' to '-20' or '-20' to '-173' , we will get the same answer.

Therefore, we might use commutative property to change the order the of integers in the following sum.

Answer:

Part A: 0.75 \times 8 + 1 \times x = 21

Part B : x = 15

Part C: Megan purchased 15 books.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Megan earns a rebate each month on completing surveys and books.

She earns $0.75 for each survey she completes and $1 for each book. Now, last month Megan completed 8 surveys and earned $21.

Part A: If Megan purchased x number of books last month, then the equation that will determine the number of books she purchased, is

0.75 \times 8 + 1 \times x = 21 .......... (1) (Answer)

Part B: Now, solving equation (1) we get,

6 + x = 21 {Since, 0.75 × 8 = 6}

⇒ 6 + x - 6 = 21 - 6 {Subtracting 6 from each side} {Subtraction property}

⇒ x = 15 (Answer)

Part C: Megan purchased last month 15 books. (Answer)

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

This is a 12.9% change - increase

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent change, use the percent change equation.

(New - Old)/(Old) * 100 = Percent Change

(525 - 465)/(465)*100 = Percent Change

60/465 * 100 = Percent Change

.129 * 100 = Percent Change

12.9% = Percent Change
