Answer:
-2 and -6 is the correct answer
Okay! Assuming this only wants the tax that will be added to the total, multiply the decimal percent by the cost of the item.
7.5% = .075
14.80 * .075 = 1.11
1.11 of tax will be added onto the total cost.
The total cost would be 15.91, which you can get from adding 14.80 to 1.11 or by doing 14.80 * 1.075. Regardless, the answer to this question is 1.11.
The number pattern to that is multiply by 10.
Amount of liquid plant fertilizer in the container that the gardener has = 6 1/5 pounds
= 31/5 pounds
We already know that 1 pound = 16 ounce
Then
Amount of liquid plant fertilizer in the
container that the gardener has = (31/5) * 16 ounce
= 496/5 pounds
Amount of liquid plant fertilizer that the gardener uses on Sunday = 2 1/2 ounces
= 5/2 ounces
Then
The amount of liquid plant fertilizer that are left= (496/5) - (5/2) ounces
= (992 - 25)/10 ounces
= 967/10 ounces
= 96.7 ounces
So the total amount of liquid plant fertilizer left is 96.7 ounces.
The answer to your question is -16/3
