First you have to have the absolute value isolated so the 2 has to be divided. Then set up the two cases and solve.
That equation has no solutions.
Answer: 8.50 dollars
The result is positive, so this is a gain (instead of a loss)
====================================
Explanation:
Focus on the "stock JKL" row only when it comes to the percentages we'll use. We need to convert them to decimal form
15% ---> 0.15
65% ---> 0.65
20% ---> 0.20
I just moved the decimal point over 2 spots, or you can divide by 100 (eg: 15% = 15/100 = 0.15)
Multiply each of these values by their corresponding loss or gain. Use negative numbers for losses
15% chance of losing $25 ---> 0.15*(-25) = -3.75
65% chance of winning $5 ---> 0.65*(5) = 3.25
20% chance of winning $45 ---> 0.20*(45) = 9
Now add up those results: -3.75+3.25+9 = 8.50

Answer:
<em>The fraction of the flour Mrs. Mannng will use for her chocolate chip cookies is 4/9</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Fraction of Portion</u>
Suppose we have a number n and another number m such as m>n. The portion or fraction of size n of m is given by the quotient n/m.
For example, 3 pieces of cake out of a total of 6 make them a fraction of 3/6 = 1/2 of the whole cake, i.e. half of the total available.
Mrs. Manning needs 1/3 cup of flour to make cookies for the bake sale. She actually has 3/4 cups of flour. Calculate the fraction of needed against the available flour:

The division can be easier performed by multiplying by the reciprocal of the denominator:


The fraction of the flour Mrs. Mannng will use for her chocolate chip cookies is 4/9
