Answer: b. 2x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : <u>30 states</u> joined the United States between 1776 and 1849

and <u>x states</u> joined between 1850 and 1900 .

If the number of states that joined the United States between 1776 and 1849 is twice the number of states that joined between 1850 and 1900.

i.e. No. of states joined the United States between 1776 and 1849= 2 (No. of states that joined between 1850 and 1900)

i.e . 30=  2(x)          [Substitute the values]

i.e . 2x=30

Hence, the true equation : 2x=30

Part A: Joel uses the incorrect expression 0.95(190)(0.8) to calculate that the computer will cost him a total of $144.40. Descr
UkoKoshka [18]

Complete question:

Joelwants to buy a new tablet computer from a store having a 20% off sale on all tablet. The tablet he wants has an original cost of $190. He also wants to make sure he has enough money to pay the 5% sales tax.

Answer:

$159.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Sales tax = 5%

Percentage discount = 20%

Original cost = $190

Joel's incorrect expression : 0.95(190)(0.8)

Joel's mistake is the 0.95 which is equivalent to 95% used in Calculating the total cost of the computer. The sales tax increases the total cost of the computer and instead of subtracting 5% sales tax, it should be added.

B.) 20% discount = 0.2 will be deducted from 100%(1)

1 - 0.2 = 0.8

5% sales tax = 0.05 will be added :

1 + 0.05 = 1.05

Original cost = $190

Therefore,

Total cost : Original cost * sales tax * discount

Total cost = $190 * 1.05 * 0.8

Total cost = $159.60

Help?!!!I’m supposed to write a possible situation for each graph

For the first one t could be a volcano that’s slowly caving in over time, and for the 2nd one it could be a store that’s selling something, and the cost per person was bigger when there was less people, but since more people came they didn’t have to charge as much ^ ^

Answer:

Step 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Steps used by Shelly to evaluate the expression

To find: step that includes Shelly's mistake

Solution:

According to PEMDAS,

P denotes Parentheses

E denotes Exponents

M denotes Multiplication

D denotes Division

A denotes Addition

S denotes subtraction

Step 3 is -20\div 5-1 and step 4 is -20\div 4

In step 4, first subtraction operation has been applied before the division operation.

There is a mistake in step 4 as according to PEMDAS, first -20 should be divided by 5 then 1 should be subtracted from the resultant number.
