3/8=0.375
2/5=0.4
0.38=0.38
0.375<0.38<0.4
therefore: 3/8,0.38,2/5
*Remember that you can convert fractions to decimals by dividing the numerator by the denominator! This makes it much easier to compare :)
1/10x + 6 = 2/5x
6 = 2/5x - 1/10x
6 = 4/10x - 1/10x
6 = 3/10x
6 / (3/10) = x
6 * 10/3 = x
60/3 = x
20 = x <=== the gas tank can hold 20 gallons
Hope you could understand.
If you have any query, feel free to ask.
Morgan should first take the 40% off then apply the $15 coupon
Lets say her total was $150.
If you take the 40% off first, you get $90
150 * .6 = 90 (since you are taking off 40% you are still paying the rest of the 60% so you can just save extra steps by multiplying by .6 and not .4)
Now you subtract 15 from that value.
90 - 15 = 75 If Morgan takes the 40% off first and then applies the $15 dollar coupon, she has to pay $75.
If she applies the $15 coupon first, her total before the 40% is $135
150 - 15 = 135
The total will come out to be $81
$135 * .6 = 81
If Morgan takes the discount first before applying the coupon she has to pay less and saves the most money.
