Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

Although you have not been provided with direct masses, you can use the percentage composition values in place of masses.

First, calculate the number of moles of each element:

This is the formula for the ionic compound calcium carbonate, confirming that our result is indeed in the magnitude of a plausible answer. In fact, given the fact that calcium carbonate is ionic, it is also true that this empirical formula equates to the unit formula of the compound.

Juan's family and Ethan's family go to a food stand.
Rasek [7]

Answer:

1 hotdog is $3.5.

1 drink is $2.

Step-by-step explanation:

18.50= 3x+4y(times 5)

25.50=5x+4y(times -3)

92.5=15x+20x

-76.5=-15x+-12y

16=-8y

2=y

18.50=3x+4(2)

10.50=3x+8

10.50=3x

3.5=x

While shopping at a clearance sale, Samantha finds a $60.00 dress on sale for 25% off. Samantha also has a 50% off coupon. Which
liq [111]

It seems most likely that ...

... Samantha will save $37.50 because she must first find the 25% sale price before taking the extra 50% reduction

_____

In the real world, it seems probable that Samantha will be offered the choice of using the coupon <em>or</em> the sale discount. If she chooses tht 50% coupon, her savings will be $30. If she chooses the marked sale discount, her savings will be $15.

The scenario above assumes she gets 50% off the sale price of $45, so saves $15+22.50 = $37.50 off the original price.
