A. 5x - 6 ................
It will take him 182 because when you divide 2175 by12 u get 181.25 and you have to add a day for the point .25
Let us convert the percentages to decimal format first.. so 5% is just 5/100 or 0.05 and 15% is just 15/100 or 0.15
so hmmm, so, let's say it needs "x" amount and "y" amount of each respectively, so, whatever "x" and "y" are, they must add up to 100, and whatever their concentration is, must add up to what the mixture yields
thus

solve for "x"
what's "y"? well, y = 100 - x
Do you want 5 and 6 or just 5? 5 is kind of neat.
44.5% = 0.445
4/9 = 0.4444444
You have enough information to put the numbers in order.
0.44 is the smallest number.
0.44444444.... is the next smallest number
0.4445 is bigger than the number above. 5 is in the ten thousandths place. that is bigger than 4 in the thousands place of 4/9
Finally the largest number of all is 0.445 for the same reason given above.
Six
5/12 = 0.416666
0.4
42% = 42/100 = 0.42
0.416
0.4 is the smallest number
0.416 is the next smallest number
0.41666666 is bigger than 0.416 because you are adding a bunch of 6s onto the decimal place.
The largest one is 0.42. You can put these into your calculator to verify the results. For example, 0.42 - 0.4166666 = 0.003344. Any result more than 0 will show that the first number is bigger than the second.
Answer:
$17
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to find 20 percent. so find 10 percent or divide by ten then multiply that by two
