Answer:
Her error was multiplying numerator by numerator ( that is Quantity of Bone-shaped treats)
Step-by-step explanation:
Sarah's calculation
Let
x = cost of 12 Bone-shaped treats
Quantity of Bone-shaped treats : price
5 : 3.5 = 12 : x
(5/3.5) = (12/x)
Cross product
3.5x=60 (Here is her error)
x=17.14
Correct calculation
Quantity of Bone-shaped treats : price
5 : 3.5 = 12 : x
5 / 3.5 = 12 / x
Cross product
5 * x = 3.5 * 12
5x = 42
x = 42 / 5
= 8.4
x = $8.4
Her error was multiplying numerator by numerator ( that is Quantity of Bone-shaped treats)
Instead of multiplying Quantity of Bone-shaped treats by cost
Answer:
(x-4)(x+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Find 2 numbers knowing sum (1) and product (-20). To find them, factor pairs of (-20) --> (-2,10) (-4,5). This sum is 1=b. Then, these 2 numbers are: - 4 and 5. Y=(x-4) (x+5). Hope this helped :)
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = # of boxes of felt-tip pens.
(x)(3.44)+(4x)(4.41) = 63.24
21.08x = 63.24
x = 3
Because x = 3, the man bought 3 boxes of felt-tip pens and 12 boxes of ballpoint pens.
