First you make the fractions have a common denominator. In this case it would be 6.

Then you have 8 3/6 - 2 4/6.

Because the number you are subtracting is greater than what you are subtracting from, you can turn the fraction into an improper fraction.

8 3/6 = 7 9/6

9/6 - 4/6 = 5/6

Then subtract the whole numbers.

7-2 = 5

Answer: 5 5/6

A salesperson sells $2100 in merchandise and earns a commission of $273, What is the commission rate?

larisa86 [58]

if we take 2100 to be the 100%, what is 273 off of it in percentage?

$\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 2100 & 100\\ 273& x \end{array} \implies \cfrac{2100}{273}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{100}{13}=\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ 100x=1300\implies x=\cfrac{1300}{100}\implies x=13$

A campground owner has 24002400 m of fencing. he wants to enclose a rectangular field bordering a river, with no fencing along

Free_Kalibri [48]

We define variables:
x = represent the width of the field
y = represent the length of the field
We write the perimeter (with no fencing along the river):
2400 = 2x + y
We clear y:
y = 2400-2x
Answer:
an expression for the length of the field as a function of x is:
y = 2400-2x

The median (half-above and half-below) could not have changed, because "corrected value was still lower than any other salary" does not change the position of that observation (still least) in the sorted list of salaries.
