your answer would be -2.57142857143
She has already spent 612, and by adding C 612 has gone ABOVE 2000
So 612 + C MUST be Greater Than 2000
The answer is D
If you divide 9/2 you receive 4.5. Tho when you divide 1/3 you get .33333 (repeated), so now you know that both the fractions do not correlate. Now the 'multiples' of 1/3 are 2/ 6, 3/9, 4/12, 5/15, 6/18, 7/21 and so on. If you do the 'multiples' of 2/9 you get 4/18, 6/27. The common factors are 4/18 and 6/18. So know you know that Sandy is using 2/18 (or 1/9) cups more of sugar.
To find the exact answer based on the last step, "
", you must use PEMDAS (attached image below)

Thus the answer is <u>59</u>.
Hope that helps!
