Answer:
The correct answer is C, as growth on stock E is bigger from the growth of stock B
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to resolve this problem, we must have in mind that the negative numbers are smaller when they are more distant from 0, and that positive numbers are bigger when they are more distant from 0. So, the biggest number of growth is the one that is more distant from 0.
The correct answer is C, as growth on stock E is bigger from the growth of stock B.
You have not given us any of the steps that Ricardo took to simplify the
expression, and you also haven't given us the list of choices that includes
the description of his mistake, so you're batting O for two so far.
Other than those minor details, the question is intriguing, and it certainly
draws me in.
If Ricardo made a mistake in simplifying that expression, I'm going to say that
it was most likely in the process of removing the parentheses in the middle.
Now you understand that this is all guess-work, because of all the stuff that you
left out when you copied the question, but I think he probably forgot that the 3x
operates on everything inside the parentheses.
He probably wrote that 3x (x-3) is
either 3x² - 3
or x - 9x .
In reality, when properly simplified,
3x (x - 3) = 3x² - 9x .
A billion has 9 zeros. So
15,000,000,000

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
you need to first do 5.89- [(5.89 * 15)/100]=5.89-0.8835=5.0065
then 5.0065 * 2 = 10.013 because it is 15% each dozen then
[(10.013 * 5)/100] =0.50065 then 10.013 - 0.50065 = 9.51235
and lastly (9.51235 * 7)/100 = 0.6658645
finally 9.51235 + 0.6658645= 10.1782145
and then you just need to round it to the nearest hundredths and you will get 10.18
