Lyle bought 3/8 pound of red grapes and 5/12 of green grapes. How many pounds of grapes did he buy ?

1 answer:

6 0

He bought 19/24 pounds of grapes.
You need to find the common denominators then add.

3/8 = 9/24 - Red grapes
5/12 = 10/24 - Green grapes

10/24 + 9/24 = 19/24.
Therefore, he bought 19/24 pounds of grapes.
Hope this helped! :-)

Today only, a desk is being sold at a 33% discount. The sale price is $268. What was the price yesterday?

Serga [27]

Discount percent = 33%

Sale price = $268

Let the original price be $x.

So,

$x - (33\% \: of \: x) = 268 \\ = > x - ( \frac{33}{100} \times x) = 268 \\ = > x - ( \frac{33x}{100}) = 268 \\ = > \frac{100x}{100} - \frac{33x}{100} = 268 \\ = > \frac{(100x - 33x)}{100} = 268 \\ = > \frac{67x}{100} = 268 \\ = > 67x = 268 \times 100 \\ = > 67x = 26800 \\ = > x = \frac{26800}{67} \\ = > x = 400$
