Basically divide 1.96 with 3/1/2 and 7/2 is the improper of 3/1/2
A direct variation generally has the equation Y=KX
Because Mrs. Potts makes 5 dozen ravioli in 1 hour, this will be the K value.
(5 dozen/1 hr)
To figure out how many she can make in 2 1/2 hrs. You use 5 dozen/1 hr as the K value and multiply that by 2 1/2 hrs (the X value).
The hrs will cancel out and you will be left with the number of ravioli made in 2 1/2 hrs.
Making the assumption that your problem looks like this,

we use the distributive property to multiply:
Answer:
$38.64
Step-by-step explanation:
so the equation needed to solve is $56*0.25 and that number is 14. Since it is a coupon you subtract 14 from 56 and end up with 42. Now multiply 0.08*42 and you got your sales tax, $3.36. now subtract that from 42 and you have your answer! Don't forget the dollar sign!
hope this helped! : )
