To find the percent of something, turn the percent into a decimal and multiply (move the decimal place 2 places left, e.g. 53% = .53)
Items bought in total:
4 brothers X two hot dogs and one bag of chips=
4X3=
12.
Hot dogs- x, chips- y.
4y + 8x= $18.20
Chips= $1.25 each so
4($1.25) + 8x= $18.20
5 + 8x= $18.20
8x= $18.20-5
8x= $13.20
x= $13.20/8 [13.20 divided by 8]
x= $1.65
This means that one hot dog= $1.65.
If you’re unsure what to write as the answer I’d suggest that you put all the working out down in your copy/notes.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- Total distance = 10 miles
- Total time = 2 hours
- Distance walked = x
- Speed walked = 2 mph
- Distance cycled = 10 - x
- Speed cycled = 15 mph
<u>Using the given data we can have the equation below to the time:</u>
- x/2 + (10 - x)/15 = 2
- 30x/2 + 30(10 - x)/15 = 30(2)
- 15x + 20 - 2x = 60
- 13x = 60 - 20
- 13x = 40
- x = 40/13
- x = 3.08 miles <em>rounded to 2 decimal places</em>
