Answer: The number of books bought were 9 paperbacks and 3 hardbacks

Step-by-step explanation: We shall start by assigning letters to the unknown variables, hence let the hardback be called h, while the paperback shall be called p.

If Marla bought 12 books at the garage sale, that means she bought

h + p  = 12 ------(1)

Then she paid 0.5 dollars for paperback and 0.75 dollars for hardback and the total spent was 6.75 dollars for all of them, then we can express these as follows;

0.5p + 0.75h = 6.75 ------(2)

We now have a pair of simultaneous equations which are

h + p = 12 ------(1)

0.5p + 0.75h = 6.75 ------(2)

From equation (1), make h the subject of the equation,

h = 12- p

Substitute for h into equation (2)

0.5p + 0.75(12 - p) = 6.75

0.5p + 9 - 0.75p = 6.75

0.5p - 0.75p = 6.75 - 9

-0.25p = -2.25

Divide both sides of the equation by -0.25

p = 9

Now, substitute for p into equation (1)

h + p = 12

h + 9 = 12

Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation

h = 3

Therefore Marla bought 9 paperbacks and 3 hardbacks

sergejj [24]
We must find the difference between prices. $2.65 - $2.50 = $0.15. Now we need to calculate what percent $0.15 is of $2.65. It is 5.7%! The price decreased, so it is a 5.7% decrease!

A ________ is a whole number that divides another whole number with a remainder of 0
Brut [27]

It's a factor. This concept is widely used throughout algebra, and you'll probably bump into it through the end of high school and beyond.

A common use is expressing a term in <em>prime factorization</em>, or reducing a number to its most base parts- primes. For example:

20 = 4 * 5 = 2 * 2 * 5

Of course, a number like 13 which is already prime is made up of itself and 1. <em>Factors do not have to be primes.</em> 20 is also reducible through combinations of 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 20. Prime factorization is just a handy example.

Basically, factors multiply with each other to create other numbers, and numbers can be reduced down to their factors.

What is the difference between the mean and the median of the data set?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Your answer is 0 (zero).

<u>Step</u><u> </u><u>by</u><u> </u><u>Step</u><u> </u><u>Explanations</u><u>:</u>

<u>For</u><u> </u><u>mean</u><u>:</u>

1. Add all the numbers; which is 90

2. Divide by how numbers there are, for this case there are 6 numbers; 90/6 = 15

3. Your mean is 15

For Median:

1. Order the numbers from lest to greatest. Ex: 8, 10, 12, 18, 20, 22

2. Find the middle number(s), which are 12 &18

3. Add; 12 + 18 = 30

4. Divide; 30/2 =15

5. Your Median is 15

So now the question asks "what's the difference?" which means subtraction: 15 - 15 = 0
