The discount price will be the same either way. (The commutative property)
20 percent of $89.00= 17.80$
$89.00 - ($5.00 x $17.80) = $66.20
$89.00 - ($17.80 x $5.00) = $66.20
Squaring both sides of the given equation: w^2=7w, or w^2-7w=0.
w^2-7w=0 can be factored: w(w-7)=0. Then, w=7 or w=0. Both 0 and 7 are solutions of this equation.
1)
neverminding how many grams or liters...or whatever unit for now
we know one bag of grass covered 1/6 of the lawn, "a whole" or 1, is 6/6
if 1 bag covers 1/6, to cover 6/6 is just 1/6 +1/6 +1/6 +1/6 +1/6 +1/6 , or 6 bags
2)
one can was enough for 1/4 of the sprayer, a full sprayer is 1 whole or 4/4, so 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 or 4 cans
3)
one potato gives enough for 1/3 for a lighbulb, again, 1 whole is 3/3, so 1/3 +1/3 +1/3 , so 3 potatoes
