Answer:Answer: Isabella buys 2 paintbrushes and 3 jars of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Isabella can buy together 5 paintbrushes ( p ) and jars of paint ( p ) : j + p = 5, She can`t buy 4 items ( because 4 * $0.99 = $3.96 < $4.87 ) and she also can`t buy 6 items ( 6 * $0.95 = $5.70 > $4.87 ). So: p = 5 - j. Another equation is: 0.95 * ( 5 - j ) + 0.99 j = 4.87, 4.75 - 0.95 j + 0.99 j = 4.87; 0.04 j = 0.12; j = 0.12 : 0.04; j = 3, p = 5 - 3 = 2. We can prove it: 0.95 * 2 + 0.99 * 3 = 1.90 + 2.97 = 4.87.

(Hope this helps!!!!)

Brad says that if a second number is 125% of the first number, then the first number must be 75% of the second number. Is he cor
olga55 [171]

Answer: He is not correct.

Steps:

Let x1 and x2 be the first and second number, respectively.

x_2 = \frac{5}{4}x_1\\\frac{4}{5}x_2 =x_1

In words, if the second is 125%, or 5/4 of the first number (first equation),

then the first is 4/5 of the second, which is 0.8 or 80%.

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

3. 10000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Number of gumball cartons = 3

Number of boxes per carton = 100

Number of gumballs per box = 100

The number of gumballs can be expressed in the form : (a. 10) ; where ; a = prime number ; b = whole number

Values of a and b?

Total number of gumballs :

Number of carton × number of boxes per carton × number of gumballs per box

3 × 100 × 100

Hence, writing the expression in the form: a. 10

a. 10 = 3 × 10000

What is the area of the figure?<br><br> A.234 in.^2<br> B.315 in.^2<br> C.225 in.^2<br> D.252 in.^2
saul85 [17]

Let's imagine we enclosed the entire shape in a 15 inch wide, 21 inch tall rectangle, area 315 sq inches.

From that rectangle we have to take away the 3x6 bottom left corner, and a strip 21-6=15 inches long and 3 inches wide on the right.

A = 15×21 - 3×6 - 3×15 = 315 - 63 = 252 sq in

Answer: D.   252 inches squared, last choice
