I think the answer is 0.8 or 0.78.
You divide 140/180 which gives you 0.77777778
You can either round up to the nearest hundredth or tenth.
<span>= (37 1/2%)/100%
= (75/2)/100
= 75/200 or (75/25)/(200/25)
= 3/8
Answer: 3/8</span>
A general equation to use for this situation is y = mx + b.
For this question, we can assume that y is total cost, m is cost per balloon, x is the amount of balloons, and b as the service fee; so we can set the equation up:
y = (4.50)x + 12
And we can further plug in the total cost to find the number of balloons purchased for the party:
79.50 = (4.50)x + 12
Now we can solve for x (number of balloons):
67.50 = (4.50)x
x = 15
The total number of balloons purchased for the party is 15.
Answer:
42.5 or 43
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you need to travel 850 miles, and you can travel 20 miles per gallon, you should divide 850 by 20 to get the number of gas cans needed. In doing so, you get 42.5 gas cans, but since it may be asking for whole cans rather than part of a gas can, you might want to write 43 instead. If you were to round down to 42, you would not have enough gas to finish the trip, so you should round up to 43. So, it is up to you if you want to write 42.5 or 43.
Hope this helped somewhat! ;(
