First you have to find what 30% of ten is, and then add it to the 10. So how do you find 30 % of 10? In math...
"of" means ×
"is" means =
30% of 10 is
30 % × 10 =
change 30% to a decimal by dividing by 100 ( move the decimal to the left 2 places)
.30 × 10 = 3
So 30% of ten is 3. Now since we are increasing by 30%, we have to add it to the original value, 10.
3 + 10 = 13
So 10 millimeters increased by 30% is
13 millimeters
Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold
From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.
Answer:
6 different ways? because theres only 6 books left to put on the shelf
Answer:
the slope is -1
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope, we use the formula
m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)
= (4--1)/ (-1-4)
= (4+1)/(-5)
= 5/-5
= -1
These cannot be solved.- 3 unknowns require 3 equations
