Morgan should first take the 40% off then apply the $15 coupon

Lets say her total was $150.

If you take the 40% off first, you get $90

150 * .6 = 90 (since you are taking off 40% you are still paying the rest of the 60% so you can just save extra steps by multiplying by .6 and not .4)

Now you subtract 15 from that value.

90 - 15 = 75 If Morgan takes the 40% off first and then applies the $15 dollar coupon, she has to pay $75.

If she applies the $15 coupon first, her total before the 40% is $135

150 - 15 = 135

The total will come out to be $81

$135 * .6 = 81

If Morgan takes the discount first before applying the coupon she has to pay less and saves the most money.

If the mass of a material is 49 grams and the volume of the material is 7 cm^3, what would the density of the material be?
inysia [295]
The equation for density is:
density =  \frac{mass}{volume}

To help you remember - my teacher told us to remember "We <span>♡ density," and the heart stands for </span>\frac{m}{v}, or \frac{mass}{volume}. Cheesy, but it works!<span>
</span>
Back to the problem:
We know the mass if 49g and the volume is 7 cm^{3}, so plug these values into the equation for density:
density = \frac{mass}{volume}\\&#10;density = \frac{49\:g}{7\:cm^{3}} \\&#10;density = 7\:g/cm^{3}

Answer: The density is 7 g/cm^{3}
