19/20
19/20 = 0.95
0.9 < 0.95
Answer:
The answer is 27
Step-by-step explanation:
The reason being, you can solve this 2 ways.
1) Combine like terms, 7a-4a = 3a.
Now just substitute (a=9) into 3a.
3 * (9) = 27.
2) Or just substitute a = 9 into the original expression.
7 * (9) - 4 * (9)
= 63 - 36 = 27
If you translate this problem literally, it is saying, “72 is what percent of 288?”. And the equational translation of that is 72 = (x/100) • 288
[ “is” means equal to (=) // “what” means x or another variable // “percent” means divided by 100” // “of” means multiplication. ]
Then you solve that equation.
(you can check it by googling what is 25% of 288. )
According to PEMDAS multiplication is first so:
52 + 8*2
52 + 16
68
Hope this helped!
