1. Method 1: By Listing MultiplesList out all multiples of each denominator, and find the first common one.
2: 2 , 4
4: 4
Therefore, the LCD is 4
Method 2: By Prime FactorsList all prime factors of each denominator, and find the union of these primes.
Therefore, the LCD is <span>2 x 2 = 4

Answer:
100.32
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we have to find 14% of 88
14% of 88 is = 88 x 14/100
= 12.32
Now we have to increase the number 88 by 14%, which means we have to add 14% of 88 (12.32) to the given number (88)
88 + (14% of 88)
= 88 + 12.32
=100.32 pounds
Answer:
Randy has eight $5 bills and nine $1 bills
Step-by-step explanation:
Randy needs $50.00
And we know that he his only $1.00 short, so he has $49.00
let's define:
x = number of $1 bills that he has
y = number of $5 bills that he has.
then:
x*$1 + y*$5 = $49
We know that he has one more $1 bills than $5 bills.
we can write this as
x = y + 1
So we have a system of two equations and two variables:
x*$1 + y*$5 = $49
x = y + 1
First we can see that the variable "x" is isolated in the second equation, now we can replace that in the other equation:
x*$1 + y*$5 = $49
(y + 1)*$1 + y*$5 = $49
now we can solve this for y.
y*$1 + $1 + y*$5 = $49
y*($1 + $5) = $49 - $1 = $48
y*$6 = $48
y = $48/$6 = 8
He has 8 $5 bills
and we know that:
x = y + 1
x = 8 + 1 = 9
he has 9 $1 bills.
