How do i solve this problem?? helpppp!!!!!

Job natural peanut butter normally cost four dollars today it’s on sale for $3.60 what is the percentage of the discount

Rzqust [24]

We can make an equation that would help this. X will be the discount rate.
4x=3.60
Now, we need to solve the equation to find what X is.
Let's divide each side by 4.
x=.9
So, we know that the item was sold for 90% of what it was before, meaning that it has a 10% discount.

Rena spent 6 days reading her book completing the same fraction of the book each day if she had a total of 8/9 of her book after

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The fraction of the book that Rena read every day is $\frac{4}{27}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Rena spent 6 days reading her book completing the same fraction of the book every day and you want to know the fraction of the book she read each day. Knowing that Rena had a total of 8/9 of her book read after 6 days, then you simply divide the total amount of the book read during those days by 6, the number of days:

$\frac{8}{9}$ ÷6

To divide a fraction by a whole number, you must convert the whole number into a fraction, finding the reciprocal of that fraction, and multiply it by the first fraction. That is, you must find the reciprocal of the number that is after the division symbol; and then you multiply the first number (the one before the division symbol) by the reciprocal of the second number (the one after the division symbol). Remember that to find the reciprocal of a number, you simply have to change the numerator and denominator of the number.

Since 6 can be considered to be a fraction equal to $\frac{6}{1}$ , by inverting the number, then you get $\frac{1}{6}$

Then:

$\frac{8}{9}$ ÷6= $\frac{8}{9} *\frac{1}{6}$

Now you multiply the numerators and denominators of the fraction to get the new numerator and denominator of the final solution.

$\frac{8}{9}$ ÷6= $\frac{8}{9} *\frac{1}{6}=\frac{8*1}{9*6} =\frac{8}{54}$

Finally, simplifying the fraction:

$\frac{8}{9}$ ÷6= $\frac{8}{9} *\frac{1}{6}=\frac{8*1}{9*6} =\frac{8}{54}=\frac{4}{27}$

So:

$\frac{8}{9}$ ÷6= $\frac{4}{27}$

The fraction of the book that Rena read every day is $\frac{4}{27}$

Given the figure what is the value of x show your work

grandymaker [24]

51 + 3x+5 = 107

Simplify the left side:

3x + 56 = 107

Subtract 56 from both sides:

3x = 51

Divide both sides by 3:

x = 51 / 3

x = 17

Angle F and the outside angle of 107, need to equal 180 degrees.

F - 180 - 107 = 73 degrees.

How to find the bin size

labwork [276]

To find the area of a rectangular prism multiply length by width by height.

If the problem has a variable take the two other dimensions and multiply them together. Then take that number and subtract it from the total to find the number that the variable equals.

There are 240 students on Misty’s school. This is 5% of the total students in the school district. How many students are there i

Viktor [21]

So if 240 is 5%, double it to get 480 than multiply it by 10 to get 4800.
