Answer: n = 3.6

Step-by-step explanation: When solving an equation that contains decimals, we want to get rid of the decimals as soon as possible.

Notice that 1.2 is taken to the tenths place

but 0.68 is taken to the hundredths place.

To get rid of all decimals in the equation, multiply both

sides by the greatest power of 10 that is required.

So here we multiply both sides by 100 which

moves all decimals 2 places to the right.

So we have (100)(1.2n + 0.68) = (5)(100).

This gives us 120n + 68 = 500.

Now subtract 68 from both sides to get 120n = 432.

Dividing both sides by 120, we find that n = 3.6.

then you figure out how many hours are from 9 am to 9 pm which was 12 then you multiply that by 6 then you take 59.85 and multiply that by 72 then you multiply that by 7

ElenaW [278]

The total amount of money Ethan made in a week including commission is $812.5

<h3>Total income</h3>

Total sales for the week = $1250
Base salary = $500
Percentage commission = 25%

Amount of commission earned = 25% of $1250

= 25/100 × $1,250

= 0.25 × 1250

= $312.5

Total earnings = Base salary + Amount of commission earned

= $500 + $312.5

= $812.5

Staci is attending a music festival. The ticket to the festival costs $87.96 . Staci plans to purchase $30.00 t-shirts form the

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

3 t-shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Lets recap the information we will use from this problem:</u>

The ticket to the festival costs $87.96

T-shirts are $30.00

She is taking $200.00 to the festival

Now we can solve. First we will subtract the price of the ticket from the total amount of money she has.

$200.00 - $87.96 = $112.04

Now that she has payed for the ticket, we want to find out how many shirts she can buy with the remainder of her money. To find this, we will set up an equation like this:

(Amount of money left) ÷ (Cost of 1 t-shirt) = (How many t-shirts she can buy)

Insert your numbers: $112.04 ÷ $30.00 = 3.73466666667

Because she cant buy a fraction of a t-shirt, we ignore the decimals on the end of this number. Therefore, Staci can purchase 3 t-shirts.
