If seven pencils cost $.84 find the cost of 10 pencils?
Lets solve this!
To solve this question, you need to first divide .84 ÷ 7 which gives you the answer 0.12. Then multiply 0.12 with 10 which gives you the cost of 10 pencils. 0.12 is the cost of only one pencil.
Lets forms this into statements ---
Cost of 7 pencils = $ .84
Cost of 1 pencil = $ 0.12
Cost of 10 pencil equals = .84 ÷ 7 = 0.12
= 0.12 × 10 = 1.2
Cost of 10 pencils is $1.2
Hope I helped (:
Have a great day!
Answer:
110.06
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a ratio: 95.20 / x = 86.5 / 100 (86.5 = 100% - 13.5%)
Cross multiply: 95.20 x 100 = 86.5x
9520 = 86.5x
110.06 = x
If jenn has 13 fewer marbles than marty and we know she has 20 marbles, you would add 13 to 20 (33) to find how many marbles marty has. the equation would be 13+20=33 (or any variable depending on the context of the question.)
So, let’s represent the number as n:
n+7=2n+3
Subtract both sides by 3:
n+4=2n
Now by n:
2n=4
Divide:
n=2
The number is 2
