$42, you can do 60 x 0.3 which is equal to 18 and then do 60 - 18 and you get 42

60x0.7=$42 I used 0.7 because that is the same as 70% and the reason I used 70% is because it's a discount of 30 and a discount means to take away. So when you use 70% it means you pay 70% OF that sixty dollars. Notice how I used the word "of". The word "of" means to multiply in Math

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The number of strawberry baskets sold was 44

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of strawberry baskets sold

y ---> the number of raspberries baskets sold

we know that

In one morning, Katya sells 96 baskets for $644

$x+y=96$ ----> equation A

$4x+9y=644$ ---> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (44.52)

see the attached figure

therefore

The number of strawberry baskets sold was 44 and the number of raspberries baskets sold was 52

He can either pay a $150 joining fee and a $10 monthly fee or he can pay a $50 joining fee and a $30 monthly fee. On what month

larisa86 [58]

Answer:it will take 5 months for the cumulative costs of the plans to be equal and the total cos is $200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of months that for which the cumulative costs of the plans will be equal.

Let y represent the total cost of using plan A for x months.

Let z represent the total cost of using plan B for x months.

He can either pay a $150 joining fee and a $10 monthly fee. This means that the total cost of using plan A would be

y = 150 + 10x

For plan B, he can pay a $50 joining fee and a $30 monthly fee. This means that the total cost of using plan B would be

y = 50 + 30x

To determine the number of hours for which the cumulative costs of the plans will be equal, we would equate y to z. It becomes

150 + 10x = 50 + 30x

30x - 10x = 150 - 50

20x = 100

x = 100/20 = 5 months

The total cost would be

150 + 10 × 5 = 150 + 50 = $200

Explain a strategy you could use to compare 2/6 and 5/8

tankabanditka [31]

To compare the two fractions you could graph the two fractions on a number line and compare which one is greater, and which is less.

Or you could make the two fractions have the same denominator and then compare the numerator. If the numerator for one is greater than the other, than that fraction is greater.

Hope this helps :)

notka56 [123]

Answer:

24%

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In this problem 25 trees represent the 100%

using proportion

Find out what percentage of the trees that Moniqua saw represent 6 elm trees

$\frac{25}{100\%}=\frac{6}{x}\\\\x=6(100\%)/25\\\\x=24\%$
