Answer:
16 pieces of spearmint gum
Step-by-step explanation:
For every five pieces of peppermint gum, there are 2 pieces of spearmint gum.
First, divide the total number of peppermint gum by 5:
40/5 = 8
Multiply this number by 2 (pieces of spearmint) to get the number of spearmint gum pieces:
8 x 2 = 16
Proof:
Ratio is 40 : 16, dividing this by 8 will reduce the ratio to 5:2
3.5z=2.25z-4.25+6.25
1.25z=2
z=1.6. As a result, this equation have one solution. Hope it help!
Answer:
Both Oscar and Kim will have enough to purchase the book.
Step-by-step explanation:
Oscar takes 30% of the normal price and subtracts it from the normal price. Out of 100% price he takes 30% so the result is: 100-30%= 70% of the normal price. Oscar's first step has the same result as Kim.
Oscar takes 10% of the discounted price (70%) and adds it back. The price will become 70% + 10%*70%= 77% of original price. Kim multiplies the discounted price with 110%, so the price will be: 70% * 110%= 77%. Both also give the same result.
The final price is 77% of the original, it will be: $28.50* 77%= $21.945
Oscar :
28.50 - 0.30(28.50) = 28.50 - 8.55 = 19.95
0.10(19.95) + 19.95 = 2 + 19.95 = 21.95
Kim :
0.7(28.50) = 19.95
1.10(19.95) = 21.95
