Answer:

It's original price as $18.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

$12.95 per square yard is 30% off its original price.

This means that $12.95 is 100-30 = 70% = 0.7 of the original price. How much is 100% = 1?

x - 1

12.95 - 0.7

0.7x = 12.95

x = \frac{12.95}{0.7}

x = 18.5

It's original price as $18.5.

There are 3 counselors assigned to each group of 24 campers, how many campers would there be if there was 9 counselors ​
olya-2409 [2.1K]
There would be 72 campers because if you divided 24 by 3 it gives you 8 and than you’ll multiply 8 by 9 and it’ll give you 72.

Subtract using the number line -3/5 - (-2/5) (picture provided)
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

<h2>-1/5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting at -3/5 you need to subtract -2/5.

When you subtract a negative number, the sign flips and you add instead. Often, you are taught that two similar signs means add and two opposite signs mean minus.

<em>+ + = +</em>

<em>- - = -</em>

<em>+ - = -</em>

<em>- + = -</em>

<em />

This means -3/5 - -2/5 becomes -3/5 + 2/5.

Because you are adding, you move two lines to the right on the number line.

You end at -1/5.
