(a)
we are given
the price of apple suddenly up by $0.75
Let's assume original price be 'p'
we are given
Sam bought 3 pounds of apple at the new price total is $5.88
so, new price = old price +0.75
price of 3 apples 
we are given that price is 5.88
so, we get equation as
.......Answer
(b)
Since, original price is p
so, we have to solve for p
so, original price is $1.21 per pound........Answer
Facts:
- tub has 1400 gallons
- draining at 27 gallons/minute
How much water will be left after 18 minutes?
We know that after 1 minute, there will be 27 gallons less.
So after 18 minutes, there must be 18 times less water.
27 x 18 = 486
This is how much water was lost in 18 min
So to find out how much he had left after <u>486 is subtracted.</u>
Therefore, the answer is A) -486 gallons
But 37 is not a factor of 3, in fact it is a prime number so anything that is divisible by it (other than 1) will be a decimal. So, my friend here you have another person on this app telling you that it is not 3 and is in fact 3.2432 (;;;
15% of 40
Of = Multiplication
15% Multiply by 40
Set up a equation
15/100= x/140
Cross Multiply
15* 140= 100*x
2100= 100x
Divide both sides by 100x
2100/100x= 100x/100x
X= 21
