Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
2×4 is the only one that equals less than 9, 2× 4.5 is 9, 2×5.5 is 11, 2×6 is 12, and the question is trying to get below 9, so 4 is the only answer that can get below 9
Answer:
7 books
Step-by-step explanation:
make an equation
x = # of books each book is $4 so its 4x
the shipping fee no matter how many books he buys will be $2 so it's just 2
the equation looks like this:
4x + 2 = 30
we set equal to 30 cuz he can't spend more than $30
solve for x
4x = 30 -2
4x = 28
x = 7
Brett can buy no more than 7 books.
Answer:
Approximately $14.20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of the groceries be represented by c, then;
cost price + VAT = c + (5% of c)
To get the value of the cost, c, that would make him spend as close to $15. Since the tax is 5% of the cost price, then the cost price would be close to $15.
Let c = $14.20, then;
So that,
c + (5% of c) = 14.20 + (5% of 14.20)
= 14.20 + 0.71
= $14.91
Thus, the greatest total cost of groceries Darla can spend in order to spend as close to $15 as possible is approximately $14.20.
