Answer:

10 bugs

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>Percentages</u></h2>

last month the spider ate 8 bugs

it then ate 25% more bugs this month , meaning :

<em>100% was last month</em> ,

this <em>month its 100% + 25%</em> . (this is because it<em> increased by 25% more</em>)

we can make use of <u>cross multiplication</u> :

bugs       :      percentage

8           :             100

x             :            125

100 x = 8 * 125

100x = 1000

x = 1000 / 100

x = 10

In this month spider ate 10 bugs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The spider ate 25% more bugs than last month.

It ate 8 bugs in last month.

To find the number of bugs it ate this month.

<u>Solution</u>

It ate more bugs = 8×25%

=8×\frac{25}{100} = 2

In this month it ate = 8+2 = 10 bugs.

Sally bought some candy bars for $1.25 each and some sodas for $1.49 each. If she bought a total of 38 items and spent $50.38 ho
hammer [34]

Answer:

26 candy bars and 12 sodas

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by a simple system of equations

I am going to call x the number of candy bars that Sally bought and y the number of sodas that Sally bought.

The fact that she bought 38 itens means the x + y = 38.

She spent $50.38. The value she spent is the sum of the number of candy bars multplied by the value of the candy bar and the number of sodas multiplied by value of a soda. So 1.25x + 1.49y = 50.38

So we have to solve the following system:

1)x + y = 38

2)1.25x + 1.49y = 50.38

From 1), we have that x = 38 - y. I am going to replace it in 2)

1.25(38-y) + 1.49y = 50.38

-1.25y + 1.49y = 50.38 - 47.5

0.24y = 2.88

y = 12.

Sally bought 12 sodas.

In 1: x = 38-y = 38-12 = 26

Choose the expression that completes the equation.
worty [1.4K]
The correct answer would be 3(7+1) because 7+1=8 and 8 times 3 equals 24. 24 divided by six is 4 plus 20 would also be 24.

Solve the equation. x2 18x 81 = 25<br> a. 14, 4<br> b. –4, –14<br> c. 14, –14<br> d. –4, 4
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The answer is the option B

-4,-14

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^{2} +bx+c=0 is equal to

x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

x^{2}+18x+81=25  

x^{2}+18x+56=0  

so

a=1\\b=18\\c=56

substitute in the formula

x=\frac{-18(+/-)\sqrt{18^{2}-4(1)(56)}} {2(1)}

x=\frac{-18(+/-)\sqrt{100}} {2}

x=\frac{-18(+/-)10} {2}

x1=\frac{-18+10} {2}=-4

x2=\frac{-18-10} {2}=-14
