This can also be written as 3.
subtracting a negative number is like taking away something you don't have.
For example, let's say you were in debt by three dollars. Then, you took away those negative three dollars. You would have 0 dollars. Think f subtracting a negative as adding a positive.

Anna [14]

Answer:

Number of local stamps = x

Number of foreign stamps = 3x

Total Number of stamps =x+3x=4x

The printer can print 168 papers in 21 minutes. Enter the number of paper the printer can print in 10 minutes.
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

80 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

168 papers          x papers

------------------ = -----------------

21 minutes          10 minutes

168*10 = x * 21

1680 = 21x

Divide each side by 21

1680/21 = 21x/21

80 = x

12% of 80 working out​
horsena [70]

How to do the problem:
Assuming that you mean you want 12% of the number 80 and showing work, here is the answer:

To get X percent of any number, write the percent as a decimal and then multiply that decimal by the whole.

What I mean:

You want 12% of 80
so first change 12% into a decimal
12% is equal to .12 as a decimal

Then multiply that decimal by the whole
Since you want 12%  of 80, 80 is the whole

that means you do .12 * 80
which is equal to 9.6
<u>Thus(answer)</u>
12% of 80 = 9.6

If Bob produces 36 or fewer items in a week, he is paid X dollars per item. If Bob produces more than 36 items in a week, he is
Greeley [361]

Answer:

How many items did Bob produce last week? 32 items.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) Last week Bob was paid total of $480 for the items that he produced that week.

(2) This week Bob produced 2 items more than last week and was paid a total of $510 for the items that he produced this week.

a) Let's start with the simplest case:  he produced 36 or less items this week.

In this case he produced less than 36 items last week too.

So he was paid the same amount of dollar per item.

Using (1) and (2) assumptions we have:

$480+2X=$510

⇒2X=$510-$480

⇒2X=$30

⇒2X=$30/2

⇒X=$15

He was paid $15 per item.

Last week he was paid $480.

480/15= 32 items.

This week he was paid $510.

510/15=34 items.

The other cases has no solutions.
