Given :
Ruth wants to buy a skateboard for $44.
She has $100 in her account. She spent $11.36 to buy stationary.
She also wants to buy some comic books for $3.72 each.
To Find :
The maximum number of comic books, n, that Ruth can buy so that she has enough money left to buy the skateboard.
Solution :
Money left after buying skateboard and stationary is :
Money left = $(100 - 11.36 - 44)
Money left = $44.64
Number of comic she can buy is :

Therefore, she can buy a maximum of 12 books.
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
The answer is 1/9 and 1/2
Answer:
The amount of white paint Jen used to paint the walls in her room is:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the exercise you only have to pay attention to the statement, in the section that says that 4/5 parts of the total painting is blue, therefore, if 1 is the total painting, you must do a subtraction:
Since the remaining white paint is 1/5 of the total, you have two ways to solve the exercise: multiply the total paint (8.2 pints) by 1/5 or divide the number by 5, as shown below:
- <u>Amount of white paint = 8.2 pints * (1/5) = 1.64 pints.
</u>
- <u>Amount of white paint = 8.2 pints / 5 = 1.64 pints.
</u>
As you can see, the two methods provide a <u>value of 1.64 pints, which corresponds to 1/5 of the total paint and is the amount of white paint used</u>.
Answer:
see the attachments below
Step-by-step explanation:
When the calculations are repetitive using the same formula, it is convenient to put the formula into a spreadsheet and let it do the calculations.
That is what was done for the spreadsheet below. The formula used is the one given in the problem statement.
__
For doubling time, the formula used is the one shown in the formula bar in the attachment. (For problem 11, the quarterly value was used instead of the monthly value.) It makes use of the growth factor for the period used for the rest of the problem.
The doubling time is in years.
__
The doubling time can also be found using a graphing calculator. In the second attachment, we have written a function that shows the multiplier for a given interest rate r and compounding n. The x-intercept in each case is the solution for t that makes the multiplier be 2. The steeper curve is associated with the higher interest rate.
The answer is h = 2A/(b1 + b2).
In order to find this, use all the methods for solving typically used in these types of equations. See the below example.
A = 1/2(b1 + b2)h ---> Multiply both sides by 2.
2A = (b1 + b2)h -----> Divide both sides by (b1 + b2)
2A/(b1 + b2) = h
