(I crossed simplify)
Next cross multiply;
3b = 1
b = 1/3
To check if the statement is true just substitute the value of b in the equation;
3b = 1
3(1/3) = 1
1 = 1
Original price is $150 so you times 150 by 0.40
150 x 0.40 = 60
So you take the $150 and you subtract $60 from $150
150 - 60 = 90
So the answer is $90
29). The 'six' is the same as (6 x 5) = 30 fifths.
So six and three fifths = (30 + 3) fifths = thirty-three fifths.
30). The 'eight' is the same as (8 x 6) = 48 sixths.
So eight and five sixths = (48 + 5) fifths= fifty-three sixths.
31). Twenty-seven of the thirds are the same as (27/9) = 3 .
That leaves a remainder of 2 thirds.
So twenty-nine thirds are the same as 3 and 2/3 .
32). Thirty-two of the fourths are the same as (32/4) = 8 .
That leaves a remainder of one fourth.
So thirty-three fourths are the same as 4 and 1/4 .
