Answer:
x
5
Step-by-step explanation:
First choose a variable to represent the number,
Let's call it
x
We need to divide that number by
5
x
÷
5
or
x
5
is how you write it as an expression.
Write an equation system based on the problem
For an instance, e stands for the price of a carton of eggs, and b stands for the price of a loaf of bread
"Kate bought 3 cartons of eggs and 5 loaves of bread for $30.07" could be written as 3e + 5b = 30.07 (first equation)
"Melissa bought 2 cartons of eggs and 2 loaves of bread for $14.74" could be written as 2e + 2b = 14.74 (second equation)
Solve the equation system using elimination method
Eliminate b to find e. To eliminate b, we should equalize the coefficient of b.
3e + 5b = 30.07 (multiplied by 2)
2e + 2b = 14.74 (multiplied by 5)
-------------------------------------------
6e + 10b = 60.14
10e + 10b = 73.70
------------------------- - (substract)
-4e = -13.56
e = -13.56/-4
e = 3.39
The price for a carton of eggs is $3.39
The third one would be the correct answer. I separately multiplied each number in the first section by each number in the second section. For instance, 0 x 2 is 0, 4 x 5 is 20, 5 x 3 is 15, and 2 x 0 is 0. All of these numbers are in the third answer.
Answer:233.333%
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 10-3=7 subtract end by start
2.7/3=2.333 divide difference by absolute value of start
32.333x100=233.333% multiply by 100 if negative its decreasing if positive it increasing
