Answer:

  • 12 free rentals
  • 41 boxes of popcorn

Step-by-step explanation:

If all of the new members had received free rentals, the cost would have been $53. The cost was actually ($94 -53) = $41 more than that. The additional cost of a box of popcorn is $1, so there must have been 41 boxes of popcorn in the mix of give-aways.

41 boxes of popcorn and 12 free DVD rentals were given away.

_____

<em>Check</em>

Cost of give-aways was $2×41 +$1×12 = $94, as required.

_____

If you like to write equations, you can let a variable represent the number of the highest-cost item (boxes of popcorn). If that is p, then the number of DVD rentals is (53-p) and the total cost is ...

  2p +(53 -p) = 94

  p = 94 -53 = 41 . . . . . . . boxes of popcorn

  (53 -p) = 53 -41 = 12 . . . DVD rentals

Hopefully, you can see the resemblance to the "word solution" above.

How can u convert a fraction to a decimal if the fraction has a multiple of 10 in the denominator
jonny [76]

So what you would do is you would divide the top number (numerator) by the bottom number (denominator) Like you would normally. So take 3/10 for example you would punch into a calculator 3 divided by 10 or do the work which would be

0.3

and that is how you convert a fraction into a decimal with a denominator of 10

I hope that this helped you. (:
