I like to reduce everything by half if I don't already know the answer.
It just so happens that is the reduced fraction.
All I did was halve 18, which is 9, and halve 34, which is 17.
The two do not save money at the same rate, because if you make common denominators of 20, Anna saves 6 dollars for every 20, while Patrick only saves 5 dollars for every twenty earned. So, Anna ends up saving more than Patrick.
Answer:
B) 7^2 x 7^3
Step-by-step explanation:
B is 7^5 , everything else is 7^4
Angie buys 1 software package and 3 months of game play
Kenny buys 1 software package and 4 months of game play
price of each software package = $20
total cost = $117
cost of one month game play = ?
let y is the cost of one month play
Angie buys 3 months game play and paid $20 = 20 + 3y
Kenny buys 4 months game play and paid $20 = 20 + 4y
total cost of both is $117
So the equation becomes,
(20 + 3y) + (20 + 4y) = 117
7y + 40 = 117
7y = 117 - 40
7y = 77
dividing with 7 on both sides, we get
y = 11
so, $11 is the cost of one month game play
