At Blooming Gardens nursery, they are currently running the following promotion: Buy three trees of the same kind at the regular
price and get the fourth at 80% off. Jocelyn is needing some trees for her backyard and decided to buy four red oak trees using the promotion. The regular price for a red oak tree is $390.00. Based on a tax rate of 8.25%, Jocelyn ended up saving $___ by using the promotion.
You can multiply 24 by 2.5 to get 60 so you'd multiply the cups of flour by 2.5 as well. You multiply both of them by the same number because it's a ratio. You'd multiply then simplify to get the answer 4 3/8 cups of flour.
31/18 is the answer. To solve, find the common denominator. In this case, I used 54. You need to multiply each fraction to get 54 on the denominator of both.
