Answer:
-2 (6x - y) = -12x + 2y
Step-by-step explanation:
By using the distributive property, you start by multiplying -2 and 6x which gets you -12x. You then multiply -2 and -y (in other words -y = -1y) so, -2* -y would get you 2 as a negative multiplied by a negative is a positive. So, adding them together would get your final answer: -2 (6x - y) = -12x + 2y
Answer:
a - 6%
b - $7.50
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer for a
the only items that had sales tax were $3.00 and $0.50. The total tax for the both was $0.21 so you can find what percent 0.21 is of 3.00 + 0.50 o 3.50. Do this by dividing the percent you are looking for, 0.21, by what it is the percent of 3.50. 0.21 / 3.50 = 0.06. then you multiply the number you got, in this case 0.06 by 100 to find the percentage so it is 6%
The answer for b
Here you can just take the subtotal, $13.00, and subtract all the other prices and you will be left with the price of the top. 13.00 - 3.00 - 2.00 - 0.50 = 7.50. So the answer is $7.50
It is quite simple actually since it is simple division with the negative rules.
Just simplify the problem and use the negatives to determine if it is positive or negative. (two negatives equal a positive and one negative equals a negative)
Answer:
8%
Step-by-step explanation:
percent increase = [ (difference between initial value and final value) ÷ initial value] x 100
⇒ percent increase = [ (270 - 250) ÷ 250] x 100 = 8%
Answer:
19 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the clock was exactly on time at 7am, and at 1pm the clock was 228 seconds late, to determine, at that rate, how slow was the clock half an hour, the following calculation must be performed:
1 PM = 13:00
13 - 7 = 6
228/6 = 38
38/2 = 19
Thus, every half hour the clock is delayed 19 seconds.
