Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\frac{1}{3}x  - \frac{5}{6} x = \frac{1}{4}

Find the common denominator for the fractions, which is 6. Rewrite 1/3 as 2/6.

\frac{2}{6}x  - \frac{5}{6} x = \frac{1}{4}

Combine like terms.

-\frac{3}{6} x = \frac{1}{4}

Simplify.

-0.5x = 1/4

Divide both sides by -0.5.

x = -1/2 = -0.5

Four friends each purchased a hat for $12.50
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

$70 each

Step-by-step explanation:

If 4 friends each buy a hat, that would be $50 because that is $12.50X4=%50.00. Then, Since the total is $190 and $50 is off the chart, you would be left with $140 to spend on two t-shirts. Finally, since they are the same price, you divide $140/2=$70. Each t-shirt is $70.

Let me know if you need clarification and I will help the best I can. Have a nice day. :)

If $475 is put in the bank and each year the account earns 5% simple interest, then how much interest will be earned in ten year
sergiy2304 [10]
Hi there! The formula for simple interest is prt. That means multiply the principal (initial amount) by the rate (simple interest rate) by the time (could be in months or years). In this case, we multiply 475 * 5% (0.05) to get 23.75. That's $23.75 in interest each year, but we're looking for the amount earned in 10 years. To do this, multiply 23.75 by 10. When you do, you get 237.5. There. $237.50 in interest will be earned in 10 years.
