since this is a multiplication, all the numerators are just factors of the product numerator and all denominators are just factors of the product denominator, so we can simply reorder them some, without changing the product.

Answer:
.90(85.00) would give the same result
Step-by-step explanation:
Rhonda is using the total cost of the item ($85.00) multiplied by the discount (10%) to find the total discount: 85 x 0.10 = 8.50. Once Rhonda subtracts the discount ($8.50) from the total: $85 - $8.50 = $76.50. The other way to look at the problem, is that Rhonda is only paying for 90% of the total cost of the items, instead of 100% since she is receiving the 10% discount. So, she would get the same final total by multiplying the cost of the items ($85.00) by 90%, or 0.90.
3 to the negative second power is written like this:

.
When simplifying an expression with a negative exponent, you take a positive version of the exponent, in this case that would be 2, and apply that to the base.
After doing that, we have 9.
The next step is to put one over that number.
In this case, now after doing that the answer is

.

Hey there!
Ratio = division
now, division of boys over girls
= 6 / 15
= 2 / 5
Ratio = 2 : 5
Hope helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
2 ( 8 - 3c) = 4c - 34
16 - 6c = 4c - 34
6c + 4c = 16 + 34
10c = 50
c = 50/ 10
therefore c = 5
Hope it will help :)
