The discount is 60% of regular price, or we can write it as
discount = 60% × regular price
input the numbers
discount = 60% × regular price
discount = 60% × 45
discount = 60/100 × 45
discount = 2,700/100
discount = 27
The answer is $27
Answer:
B. 11/18
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve using algebra.
x = 0.611111...
10x = 6.111111...
10x - x = 6.111111.. - 0.61111111..
9x = 5.5
x = 5.5/9
x = 11/18
Answer:
The answer to your question is $1.29
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Total amount of cupcakes = 50
Total amount of sugar = 3 1/2 cups = 3.5 cups
Cost of 5-pound bag = $3.69
2 cups = 1 pound
Total cost = ?
Process
1.- Calculate the amount of pounds needed
2 cups ------------------ 1 pound
3.5 cups --------------- x
x = (3.5 x 1) / 2
x = 3.5 / 2
x = 1.75 pounds
2.- Calculate the price of 1.75 pounds
5 pounds -------------- $3.69
1.75 pounds ---------- x
x = (1.75 x 3.69)/5
x = 6.46/5
x = $1.29
3.- Conclusion
The cost of sugar to prepare 50 cupcakes is $1.29
