Hello!
3/4 = 0.75 as a decimal
We know that Jen picks 0.75 of a gallon of strawberries in half an hour, and now we want to find out how many gallons she'll pick in 2 hours.
Half an hour = 0.5
2 ÷ 0.5 = 4 There are four half hours in 2 hours.
0.75 × 4 = 3
ANSWER:
Jen will have picked 3 gallons of strawberries in 2 hours.
$4 is the original price of the jar consisting of peanut butter so therefor it = 100%. It's for sale at $3.60, so we divide $4 by 100% so we get the percentage for each cent and then we times it by 3.60 to get the percentage for $3.60 which is 90%. Now we subtract 90% from 100% to get the discounted percentage for 40cents :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the value y.
-2x-8(-5x+22)=14
-2x+40x-176= 14
38x-176 =14
38x = 190
x=5
Now put the value of X to find Y
Y= -5(5)+22= -25+22 = -3
=>X=. 5
=>Y= -3
