To find 70% percent of a number, multiply the number by 0.7. in this instance , 0.7 x 15= 10.5 .therefore, 70 percent of 15 is equal to 10.5
X=number of books that cost 0.60
y=number of books that cost 0.75
x+y=16
0.6x+0.75y=10.95
solve
multiply second equation by 10 for nicity
6x+7.5y=109.5
multiply first equesiotn by -6 and add to second
-6x-6y=-96
<u>6x+7.5y=109.5 +</u>
0x+1.5y=13.5
1.5y=13.5
divide both sides by 1.5
y=9
sub back
x+y=16
x+9=16
minus 6
x=7
seven 0.60 books and nine 0.75 books
Answer: -4
This is because -4 is closer to 0 on the number line, when compared to -5.
You are basically measuring the distances from 0 to determine magnitude.
