Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

An elf ate 15 of your muffins and that was 5/8 of all of them. To get the number of muffins left goes thus:

We can first calculate the total number of muffins the person had. Let the total number of muffins be y. That means the elf ate 5/8 of y.

5/8 of y = 15

5/8 × y = 15

0.625 × y = 15

0.625y = 15

Divide both side by 0.625

0.625y/0.625 = 15/0.625

y = 24

The total amount of muffins is 24. Since the elf has eaten 15, the amount left will be: 24-15 = 9

3x + 6 = 27

step 1. subtract 6 from both sides

step 2. divide both sides by three to get x alone

x = 7

Tom ordered a jacket at $70, a shirt at $30, and slacks at $38. If sales tax is 6% and the shipping and handling is $10.75, what
vodomira [7]
For question 1, We need to calculate the total, find the tax, then add the shipping cost to the total. (70+30+38=138) now we find the tax (138*0.06=8.28) Now we add the tax and cost together and then the shipping and handling and we have our answer (138+8.28+10.75=157.03) So your answer is A.

For question 2, We need to calculate the total and then find the tax. So, we do this: 25.67*3=77.01. Then we add the skirt to the total (77.01+23.55=100.56). Finally, we calculate the tax cost (100.56*0.08=8.0448). So our total is (100.56+8.0448=108.6048) So the answer is A.

What are 2 numbers that make 49, i need help with my math homework. I’m in 3rd grade
Brilliant_brown [7]
Two numbers that would make up 49 would be 7 times 7. Because if you multiply 7 times 7 you will get the number 49.
