The answer would be C. (He counted Yolanda's candy as his own).

This is found by multiplying 500 (starting number of candy) and .64 (percentage divided by a hundred). Thjs would guve you 320, which you would then subtract from the starting number of candy (500) to get 180. 180 is Yolanda's number of candy, which gives you the answer.

Which two points represent solutions to the equation 3x−9y=18? (−6,1) (−3,−2) (0,2) (6,0) (9,1)
Mama L [17]

Answer:

the two points represent solutions to the equation 3x - 9y= 18

if y = 0,

3x - 9(0) = 18

3x = 18

x = 6

(6,0): point 1

if x = 9

3(9) - 9y = 18

27 - 9y = 18

-9y = -9

y = 1

(9, 1) : point 2

the length of a rectangle is 3 cm more than twice its width. Find the largest possible width if the perimeter is at most 66cm
Vanyuwa [196]
If you let the width be x, then the length will be 2x + 3. The perimeter P is twice the width plus twice the length, i.e., P = 2*x + 2*(2x + 3) = 2x + 4x + 6 = 6x + 6. So if the perimeter is 66 cm then 66 = 6x + 6 ---> 6x = 60 ---> x = 10 cm., and so if the perimeter is at most 66 cm., the width can be at most 10 cm..

If you bought something in Colorado for $80, you would be charged $2.32 in state sales tax. What is the state sales tax in Color
REY [17]


The state sales tax in Colorado is 2.9%.

We know that because we divide 2.32/80. We have to find out what percent the tax is of the amount paid. The answer comes to 0.029. Multiply it by 100, and you get 2.9%

rjkz [21]

Answer: 2x -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write equations with the information given:

  • <em>John has × marbles  </em>

John=x

  • <em>Max has twice (multiplied by 2) as many.max give gives john 5 of his marbles. </em>

We have to multiply by 2 the number of marbles that John has (x), and subtract 5.  

Max = 2x -5

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
