Answer:
About 152 pieces of candy
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up equal proportions to solve for the $5.99 bag.
We know that 24 pieces = .99, so
Make sure to keep the pieces on top, and the dollars on bottom (or vice versa). If your units are messed up, it will not work.
Cross-multiply.
25(5.99) = .99x
Simplify.
149.75 = .99x
Divide both sides by .99.
x = 151.26 = about 151 pieces of candy
a repeating decimal is placed over 9's instead of 0's. for example: 0.23 = , but 0.232323... =
a) x = 0.121212
b) 100(x) = 100(0.121212)
100x = 12.1212
c) 100x = 12.1212
- <u> x = 0.1212</u>
99x = 12
x =
d) -2 <em>= -2
when simplified</em>
The number is rational becase it has a repeating decimal
