Answer:
C. 4,100
Step-by-step explanation:
"60% more" is represented by a multiplier of 1 + 0.60 = 1.60.
"60% fewer" is represented by a multiplier of 1 - 0.60 = 0.40.
__
Let b represent the number of booklets distributed by Team B. Then the number distributed by Team A is ...
1.60 × (0.40b) . . . . 60% more boxes, each with 60% fewer booklets
= 0.64b
Then the total distributed by both teams is ...
b + 0.64b = 1.64b = (164/100)b = (41/25)b
The only answer choice that is a multiple of 41 is ...
4,100 . . . choice C
__
For 4100 to be the number of booklets distributed by both teams, Team B will have distributed 2500 booklets, and Team A will have distributed 1600 booklets. Team A might have distributed 160 boxes of 100 booklets, while Team B might have distributed 100 boxes of 250 booklets.
Answer:
between 10 and 22
Step-by-step explanation:
A side of a triangle must measure between the difference of the lengths of the other two sides and the sum of the lengths of the other two sides.
Difference: 16 - 6 = 10
Sum: 6 + 16 = 22
Answer: between 10 and 22
To solve this problem, we should understand how order of operations works. Perhaps the best way to show you this would be solving the problem with all of the work clearly labeled?
=4[2(21-17)+3] Original Problem
=4[2(4)+3] Solved the Parentheses
=4[8+3] Multiplied the 2 and 4
=4[11] Added the 8 and 3
=44 Multiplied the 4 and 11
An easy way to remember this is PEMDAS, which is an acronym for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, and Addition/Subtraction. Although it will not apply in this scenario (because we have brackets), it will come in handy for many others like this.
Using all of the information above, we can conclude that this expression equals 4.
4x+2x^2+3x-2x+7
First, you would combine like terms. In this case, you would add 4x and 3x then subtract 2x.
2x^2+5x+7
5x^2-2x+3+4x-2x^2
Once again, you must combine like terms. Subtract 2x^2 from 5x^2, then subtract 2x from 4x.
3x^2+2x+3
There you go! Hope it helps

We are simplifying this so they are easier to add in your head.
87+33 is easier math to do in your head
so our new estimated number would be 120
