Answer:
3 oz.
Step-by-step explanation:
how many 1/2 are there in 2?
there are 4.
this means we divide 12 (oz. of choc chips) and 4
when we divide them, we get 3oz.
thats why you need 3oz. chocolate chips for 1/2 of a batch

The original are would be 48.
Since we know that the length and width are two consecutive even integers, we can model them as follows:
Width = x
Length = x + 2
This works because no matter what even number is put in for x, the length will also be even.
Now we know if we subtract 3 from the width, we have a new rectangle that gives us an area of 24 inches. Therefore, our new triangle has the following:
Width: x - 3
Length: x + 2
Area: 24
And we can plug this into the equation.
Length* Width = Area
(x + 2)(x - 3) = 24
x^2 - x - 6 = 24
x^2 - x - 30 = 0
This is not a quadratic that we can factor to show the following:
(x - 6)(x + 5) = 0
This gives us the answers of x = 6 and x = -5. Since a side can't be negative, we throw out the x = -5 and the answer is x = 6.
So if we go back to the original rectangle, we know:
Width = x = 6
Length = x + 2 = 8
Area = 6*8 = 48
The original price is $450.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Step 1:
Given details, Discount%, D% = 30 and Selling Price, SP = $315
Step 2:
Write down formula for calculating the Original Price
Selling Price (SP) = Original Price (OP) - Discount (D)
Discount (D) = Original Price (OP) * (D%/100)
Step 3:
Substitute given values in the formula
315 = OP - D
D = 
D = 0.3 OP
Step 4:
Substitute value of D in the first formula
315 = OP - 0.3 OP
315 = OP (1 - 0.3) = 0.7 OP
Original Price, OP = 315/0.7 = $450
40% means 0.4 .
So . . . . . 7 = 0.4 N .
Divide each side by 0.4 . . . N = 7/0.4 = 17.5
