Answer:
a=3
Step-by-step explanation:
This should be very simple, just substitute xy and y for 5 and 7 respectively, so 5a-2*7=1, or 5a-14=1, or 5a=15, if we divide both sides by 5, we get a=3
5*15.75=78.75
128-2=126
126-78.75=47.25
47.25/7=6.75
The length of each piece of the seven pieces would be 6.75 inches.
Answer:
1. 450
2. 8(12)+3(2.50)
3. 10
4. 32
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 700-250=450
2. 8 people going to the theater. If tickets cost $12 each, you multiply 8 by 12 to get the ticket cost. If 3 people ordered drinks and drinks cost $2.50, you multiply 3 by 2.50 to get the drink cost. Since this is asking for the total cost you add your first 2 answers to get the final cost.
3. 12/3=4, which means one pound costs $4. To find the amount bought with $40, divide 40 by 4, which equals 10 pounds.
4. To find percents, you turn your percentage into a decimal by dividing by 100. (400/100=4), then you multiply that by the number you are trying to find a percentage of(8x4=32). This gives you the answer 32.
