"Sum" tells us it's an addition problem:
One term is 12 and the other is 9/x
SO
The expression is:
12+9/x
Answer:
8 Nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
Since a Nickel is worth 5 cents ($0.05)
And a Quarter is worth 25 ($0.25)
and theres 22 coins
8 of those coins would be nickels which would mean we add 8 nickels up
8 x 0.05 = 0.4
then we add the quarters up
14 x 0.25 = 3.5
3.5 + 0.4 = $3.90
Alright so all we are doing is adding 7/10 and 1/2
But sometimes that can be difficult because they don’t have the same denominator
In that case, we want to give them the same denominator (bottom number if the fraction)
So we do this by multiply 1/2 by 5/5 which will get you 5/10
We now have 5/10 and 7/10 which both have the same denominator (10)
So add them together and you will get 12/10
Now that’s more than 1 gallon so let’s figure out how much more
So 12/10 -10/10 (full gallon) = 2/10
So she used 1 2/10 gallons
If you want it in decimal form then it’s 1.2 (divide 2 by 10)
Hope that helped!
The constant of proportionality is 1,250 the 5/6 is 6,250. You have to now find out the 10% by multiplying it which = 625. 625 is not the amount that they can sell that is the amount that they gave to the players and staff. So now you have to subtract 625 from 6,250 which would give you 5,625 strawberry's.
