Answer:

The number is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the reciprocal of 2/3

Remember that when multiply a number by its reciprocal, the result is 1

so

The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2

step 2

Let

x-----> the number added to the numerator and denominator

\frac{23+x}{12-x}=\frac{3}{2}

Solve for x

2(23+x)=3(12-x)\\46+2x=36-3x\\2x+3x=36-46\\5x=-10\\x=-2

step 3

verify

\frac{23+x}{12-x}

substitute x=-2

\frac{23-2}{12+2}

\frac{21}{14}

Simplify

\frac{3}{2} ----> is ok

therefore

The number is -2

Mr. Trager has $500.00 to spend at a bicycle store. All prices listed below include tax. . He buys a new bicycle for $273.98. .
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

2 outfits

Step-by-step explanation:

first you have the total amount of money he has.

next subtract the amount of money he spends on the new bicycle

500-273.98=226.02

next find the total cost of the 3 bicycle reflectors

7.23 times 3 = 21.69

Subtract that total from the remaining amount of money left

226.02 - 21.69 = 204.33

Then subtract the helmet from the remaining money

204.33 - 42.36 = 161.97

now divide the remaining money by 78.12 to find out how many outfits he can buy

161.97 / 78.12 = around 2.07

So the answer is he can only buy 2 outfits with the remaining money

(you can not buy 2.07 outfits)

hope this helps and was what you were looking for
