Answer:
The Jar of peanut butter
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest way to do this is to calculate price per ounce of each unit.
We'll assign the 12 ounce jar to the variable s and the bulk to the variable b.
First create an equation to find the values of each product per ounce.
Since the 12 ounce jar(s) sells for 3.96 we can say it is 3.96 for every 12 ounces, or s = 3.96/12oz.
Simplify this equation and you get s = 0.33 per ounce.
For b we need to convert pounds to ounces.
There are 16 ounces per pound so the equation we get is:
b = 5.50/16oz
Simplified we get:
b = about 0.34/oz
The smaller jar has a rate of $0.33/oz
The bulk has a rate of $0.34/oz
This means the answer is b. The jar of peanut butter has a cheaper unit rate.
You have to multiple and divide
Answer:
= 
Step-by-step explanation:
When dividing values with exponents, we simply need to subtract the numerators exponent to the denominators exponent.
So we have:
= 
= 
Now since we have a negative exponent, we can get the reciprocal of the value to make it positive.

Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
4x-6= -2
+6=+6
<u>4x</u>=<u>4</u>
4 = 4
x= 1
To find a percentage of a number we multiply the percentage times the number and get the result, here we have the percentage and the result and need to find out which number it corresponds to, lets write an equation to do so and keep in mind that the percentage itself can be written in a different way:
225% = 225 out of 100 = 225/100
So we have this equation, where we call x the number we are looking for:
<span>(225%)(x) = 81
</span>(225/100)(x) = 81
so we solve for x:
225x = 81*100 = 8100
x = 8100/225
x = 36
The original number is 36, hence 225% of 36 is 81
