Answer:

The original price of apples was $1.21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is :

In winters the price per pound of apples went up by $0.75.

Sam bought 3 pounds of apples at the new rate and spent $5.88.

So, let say the original price of the apples was = x

And the new price is x+0.75

We will form the relevant equation:

3x+3(0.75)=5.88

The original price becomes:

3x+2.25=5.88

3x=3.63

x=\frac{3.63}{3}

x = 1.21

Hence, the original price of apples was $1.21

Apples went up 0.75 a lb

p is the start price so new price is p + 0.75

we buy 3 lbs

3 ( p+ 0.75) = 5.88

now solve

3p  + 2.25 = 5.88

     -2.25      -2.25

3p =  3.63

/3         /3  

p = 1.21 a lb

Write an expression that can be used to multiply 6 x 198 mentally? please answer thanks!
valkas [14]
-6 x 2 + 6 x 200. Since you want to find out 6 multiplied by 198 the easiest way (for me) would be to round it and then substract 12 since 200-198 is equal to 2 and 6 x 2 is equal to 12

Two gardens are being fenced in. Both gardens will require the same amount of fencing (both gardens have the same perimeter in m
Naily [24]

Answer: We know:

the triangle gardern(garden A) and the square garden(garden B) have the same perimeter.

This may sound obv, but it's important: garden A has 1 less side then garden B, which is why it can have longer sides but the same perimeter.

So side A1 + side A2 + side A3 = side B1 + side B2 +  side B3 + side B4.

A1 + A2 + A3 = B1 + B2 + B3 + 15(the extra length on the triangle sides)

Since B is a square, B = 15 m by 15 m.

I don't know enough about triangle to put the dementions, but it's an equilateral triangle so the sides are 20 m each.  Hope that helps! :)

Joshua sold his bike for 10% less than payed for it. If he sold the bike for $585, how much did he pay for it.
Troyanec [42]

Answer: $650

Step-by-step explanation:

If he sold the bike 10% less than the original amount which means he sold it as a 10% discount so the person has to pay 90% of the price. And 90% of the price has to equal $585  so we could set up an equation and solve for the price.

90% * x =  585

0.9 * x = 585

0.9x = 585

x = 650  

Which means he paid $650 for the bike.
