Answer:
A = 14.2/1.1 hours
B = 5.091 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Formulate 2 simultaneous equations
5.7A + 6.8B = 111.40..........(1)
A +B =18...............................(2)
Multiply each item in (2) by 5.7 to get
5.7A + 5.7B = 97.2............(3)
subtract (1) - (3) on each side
5.7A -5.7A + 6.8B - 5.7B = 111.40 -97.2
1.1B = 14.2
B = 14.2 /1.1
to get A use equation (2)
A = 18 - B
A = 18 - 14.2/1.1 = 5.091
To write
as a terminating decimal we will turn this fraction to a decimal. To do this we will divide the numerator by the deliminator and the result will be the decimal.Then we will check if it is a terminating decimal or repeating decimal. Lets do it:-
78 ÷ 25 = 3.12
3.12 is a terminating decimal. So,
as a terminating decimal is
3.12.Hope I helped ya!!
We need to find the percent increase from 38.8 to 82.4, so
x * 38.8 = 82.4
x = 82.4/38.8
x = 2.1237
Multiply by 100 to convert to percentage (move decimal 2 places to the right)
2.1237 = 212.37%
Now we can apply this percentage increase to the onion dip...
0.48 x 212.37% =
0.48 x 2.1237 = 1.019
Round to the nearest cent $1.02 is the amount of increase. Now add it to the original price to get today's price...
$1.02 + .48 = $1.50
