5 can also be written as 5/1
knowing that each bottle is equal and is 3/4 full, multiply 5 by 3/4
5/1 x 3/4 will give you your answer.
remember just multiply straight across and simplify.
The theater collected $3,712.50 at the concession stand. How I determined this answer:
Alright, so you already know the total amount the theater collected ($8,250) and the percent of sales which came from the concession stand (45%). Your first step is to change the given percentage into a decimal, as shown below:
To change 45% into a decimal, you have to move the invisible decimal point two places to the left:
45(.)% becomes .45
Now that you have changed your percent into a decimal, your next step is to multiply the total sales the theater made last night with your decimal, as shown below:
Multiply the total sales ($8,250) x (.45)
$8,250 x .45 = $3,712.50.
So the theater made a total of $3,712.50 at the concession stand last night.
Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
first distribute the 2 through x-4 you get 2x-8=6x then subtract 2x from both sides of the equation now you have 4x=-8 then divide 4 from both sides of the equation and you x=-2
