The relationship between 2/3 of 3/4 and 3/4 of 2/3 is that the product will equal the same because in multiplication, it doesn't matter what order you put the numbers in because it will equal the same product.
Let "a" and "b" represent the values of the first and second purchases, respectively.
0.40*(original price of "a") = $10
(original price of "a") = $10/0.40 = $25.00 . . . . divide by 0.40 and evaluate
a = (original price of "a") - $10 . . . . . . Julia paid the price after the discount
a = $25.00 -10.00 = $15.00
At the other store,
$29 = 0.58b
$29/0.58 = b = $50 . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of b and evaluate
Then Julia's total spending is
a + b = $15.00 +50.00 = $65.00
Julia spent $65 in all at the two stores.
x=2.5
5x = 5(2.5) = 12.5
I believe 12.5 is the answer
Yo sup??
Number of goldfish=3
Number of turtles=1
Total number of pets=4
Fraction of goldfish=3/4
Therefore the correct answer is option 4
Hope this helps
