Answer: I would say the third one
Step-by-step explanation: I hope this helps if it is wrong i am so sorry I hope you have a great day of night stay safe :)
You are buying 2 items so let's use two different variables to represent each:
p = number of tubes of paint
b = number of disposable brushes
cost = price per item × number of items
Equations from information given:
4p + 0.50b = 20 ← from the first 2 sentences
2p = b ← if there are twice as many brushes as paint tubes you need 2 times paint tubes to equal number of brushes
Solve the problem by using substitution... 1b equals 2p so replace b with that:
4p + 0.50(2p) = 20
4p + 1p = 20 ← 0.50 is half so half of 2p is 1p
5p = 20 ← combine like terms
p = 4 ← divide both sides of the equation by 5
Recall the equation 2p = b replace p with 4
2(4) = b
8 = b
ANSWER:
You purchased 4 tubes of paint and 8 disposable brushes.
1. Find the total number of class members
9 + 11 = 20
2. Find 9 as a percentage of 20
9 / 20 = 0.45
0.45 x 100 = 45%
<u>45% of the class are girls.</u>
Answer:
$2,700
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the pasture be x, this means that the length of the pasture will be 2x
The area of a rectangle is L * B
Hence,
x * 2x = 18,000
2x^2 = 180,000
x^2 = 90000
x = 300 meters
This means the length is 600 metres
Now, to get the length of the fence, we need to know the actual perimeter which is 2(L + B)
= 2 ( 300 + 600)
2 * 900 = 1,800 metres
The cost is thus 1,800 * $1.50 = $2,700
