Answer: 36 hotdogs
Step-by-step explanation: You need to find the least common multiple of 9 and 12.
You can check by multiplying 9 and 12 by consecutive whole numbers until you find a number that they match.
Example:
9*1= 9 , 9*2=18, 9*3= 27, 9*4=36, 9*5=45
12*1=12, 12*2=24, 12*3 =36
They both share 36.
Multiply (or distribute) the exponent outside the parenthesis with every exponent inside the parenthesis, remember that if there is no exponent shown, then the exponent is 1. Step 3: Apply the Negative Exponent Rule. Negative exponents in the numerator get moved to the denominator and become positive exponents.
To evaluate a function at a given input, you have to substitute every occurrence of the variable with that particular value.
So, for the first function, you have

The name of the variable is obviously irrelelvant, so the same goes for the second function:

Answer: $42.56
Step-by-step explanation:
Percent discount in department store = 38%
The regular price of suit = $112.
Price taken off the regular price of the suit =
38% of $112
So, 38% of $112
= (38/100) x $112
= 0.38 x $112
= $42.56
(i.e the customer will pay $112 - $42.56 = $69.44 only for the suit)
Thus, the price taken off the regular price of the suit is $42.56
