Answer:
$8.80
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the new price, you need to add 60% of the original price (5.50) to the original price. You have two options:
1) multiply $5.50*0.6 to get 60% of the original price. You would get $3.30. Then add $3.30+$5.50, which equals $8.80. This way takes longer but shows you all the steps.
2) The shorter way is to simply multiply $5.50*1.6, which also equals $8.80. This works because the "1" automatically adds the 5.50 to 60% of the original price, this way you don't have to multiply then add.
If you don't understand how the second way works or your teacher taught you #1, just do it the first way.
The first one is (4) The second one is (-6) I'm not 101% sure but yeah.
Answer:
x=66.667
Step-by-step explanation:
Basically, if y varies directly with a value x, you get an equation of the form y=kx, where k is a constant. To answer the question, first substitute 9 into y, and 24 into x.
9=24k
k=0.375
k is 0.375, so to get x, substitute 0.375 into k and 25 into y
25=0.375x
x=66.667
And we got it!
