Notebooks cost $ 1.20 each. This weekend they will be on sale for $ 0.80. What percentage is the sale

Mathematics

Rainbow [258]3 years ago

From the information we have, we know that each book costs 1.20 dollars. So we shall say this price is at 100% .

Now we need to form an equation to get the percentage  when the books are sold at 0.80 dollars.

100% = 1.20

       x = 0. 80

Where x is the new percentage when the sale is at 0.80 dollars.

We cross multiply the equation:

1.20 *x = 0.80 * 100

1.2x = 80

x = 80/1.2

x = 66.7%

Round off 66.7 to the nearest tenth we get 67%

The notebooks are sold at 67% (of the original cost).

Someone buys 4 drinks and 2 sandwiches that equals them $32.50. Each drink is $3.50 more than popcorn. How much does each drink
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The cost of each drink is $6.58

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

Someone buys 4 drinks and 2 popcorn and spent a total of $32.50. Each drink is $3.50 more than a popcorn. How much does each drink cost?

Let

x ----> the cost of each drink

y ----> the cost of each popcorn

so

4x+2y=32.50 ----> equation A

x=y+3.50

isolate the variable y

y=x-3.50 ----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

substitute equation B in equation A

4x+2(x-3.50)=32.50

solve for x

4x+2x-7=32.50\\6x=32.50+7\\6x=39.50\\x=6.58

therefore

The cost of each drink is $6.58

Ann [662]

Answer:

11.93

Order of Operations rules require that we do the division first:

-0.48      48
