Well this is a hard question to answer, but this is how i would put it.
You would take a number (lets use 15) and the second number (lets use 5) would determine how many times it would go into 15. In other words, 5 time x would equal 15 (5x=15). 5, being a factor of 15, would evenly fit into 15 three times.
The textbook is $150 originally, so to find the price of the textbook on sale, multiply the original price by 12% (0.12). Then subtract 12% of 150 from 150.
Subtract 18 from 150.
Multiply the price of the textbook on sale by the sales tax of 8.25% (0.0825). Then add the tax price onto the sale price of the textbook.
Add 10.89 to 132.
The final price of the textbook is $142.89.
Easy. If 1 In. = 2.54 Cm. then the equation would be 47 * 2.54 = 119.38.
1. 5, 19, 24, 46, 77, then 98
2. -62, -47, -11, 38, then 56
