8 pounds
2.50 - 7.75 = 5.25
5.35 divided by 0.75=7
7+1=8 pounnndddsss
The answer is 22 because you multiple 8 by 2 3/4
Answer:
Ling can buy 12 bags of balloons, but no more.
A
Step-by-step explanation:
If the gum costs 75 cents today, which is 3 cents less than three times what the pack cost 20 years ago, we just need to arrange what we know into an equation.
We know that the price of gum today is 75 cents, so we can leave that on one side of the equation as a constant. Also, since we are dealing only with cents and not dollars, there is no need to shift the decimal point to the left.
? = 75
Now, we can work the equation.
The problem tells us that 75 is 3 cents less than three times the old cost. So, if x is the old cost, we can work out the equation based on that.
It says that it's 3 cents less than 3 times x. The question is basically the equation in word form.
3x - 3 = 75
'3x' being the "three times the old cost" part, '- 3' being the "3 cents less" part, and '75' of course being the current price of a pack of gum.
Option C is your correct answer.
BTW if we were to solve this, we would see that the old price of a pack of gum is:
3x - 3 = 75
+ 3 + 3
3x = 78
/3 /3
x = 26
20 years ago, a 75-cent pack of gum cost 26 cents.
Hope that helped! =)
Answer:
1) -184
2) 13
-3(
)+4
Step-by-step explanation:
For problem number 1, Let's start by substituting all the x's for -3
So the equation will look like
p(-3)=
-
+7(-3)-10
Now, lets simplify by solving the exponents
First we'll do 
which equals -27
Now we'll do 
which equals 9
So now our equation looks like
p(-3)=4(-27)-5(9)+7(-3)-10
Now, we are going to multiply all these numbers
First 4(-27) which equals -108
Now -5(9) which equals -45
And finally 7(-3) which equals -21
Now our equation looks like
p(-3)= -108-45-21-10
Now we can solve
-108-45-21-10=-184
