When given a value of the variable, we replace each instance of the variable in the problem with that number. In this case, the expression becomes:
After this, we merely need to simplify the answer.
Simplifying 12/2 gives us the answer 6.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
What we know is that A + S = 111. That is, the miles Andre drove plus the miles Scott drove totalled 111 miles. What we also know is that Scott drove quite a bit more than Andre did. Scott drove 7 miles more that ( +7 ) 3 times the number of miles Andrea drove. That looks like this algebraically:
S = 3A + 7
Now we can sub in that value for S to the original equation:
If A + S = 111 and S = 3A + 7, then
A + 3A + 7 = 111 and
4A + 7 = 111 and
4A = 104 so
A = 26 and
S = 3(26) + 7 so
S = 85 miles.
Scott drove 85 miles.
If it’s 3 3/8 you multiply the denominator by the coefficient and add the numerator and then keep the same denominator so it would be 27/8
The sandwich is sold for $4.76
Explanation-
Divide the total cost of the sandwich by 100 to find what 1% would equal (0.028) then multiple that by the percent the deli sells the sandwich( 170%) which gets you $4.76
