Remark
Good thing to know. This is a rounding question.
A
Answer A is a bit nasty. I round 5 to the next highest number on the left. That may not be what you have been told to do. Let us round A to 5.7 and see if anything else does this.
B
Answer B rounds to 5.6
C
Answer C rounds to 5.6 as well. 3 is less than 5 so you round down.
D
Answer D rounds to 5.6(.) The zero has no effect on the 6.
Answer
Since there is nothing special about A and nothing else rounds to 5.7, the answer is A. So your rule is when the last number is 5, you round the second last number to one more than it was, regardless of the properties of the second last number.
The answer to this question is zero
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 985
2.95x + 9.95y = 7343.75
-2.95x - 2.95y = -2905.75
7y = 4438
y= 634 steak sandwiches
x + 634 = 985
x = 351 hot dogs
48+56=104; 170-104= 66. The librarian needs to pack 66 more books.
Answer: you bought 9 burgers and 16 tacos
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of burgers that you bought.
Let y represent the number of tacos that you bought.
You buy a total of 25 burgers and tacos. It means that
x + y = 25
The burgers cost $3.50 each and the tacos cost $2.25 each. The total cost of the burgers and tacos that you bought is $67.50. It means that
3.5x + 2.25y = 67.5- - - - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = 25 - y into 1, it becomes
3.5(25 - y) + 2.25y = 67.5
87.5 - 3.5y + 2.25y = 67.5
- 3.5y + 2.25y = 67.5 - 87.5
- 1.25y = - 20
y = - 20/ - 1.25
y = 16
x = 25 - y = 25 - 16
x = 9
