Answer: 1/5
Step-by-step explanation: First we start off with 44/220. Then we find the GCF which would be 44. Then we divide both sides by this number to get 1/5.
Hope this helped.
Answer:
(E) 9
Step-by-step explanation:
A= 4
B= 5
C= 0
a+b+c= 4+5+0= 9
a+b=9= 4+5=9
a+c=4= 4+0=4
b+c=5= 5+0= 5
Let x be the number of months.
The first plan is 15 dollars sign up fee and 38 dollars per month. So the equation is 38x + 15.
The second plan is 78 dollars as sign up fee and 31 dollars per month. So the equation is 31x + 78.
We need find when x has the same value in both equations, so we do their equality:
38x + 15 = 31x + 78
Let's subtract 15 from both sides
38x + 15 = 31x + 78
38x + 15 - 15 = 31x + 78 - 15
38x = 31x + 63
Now let's subtract 31x from both sides to have the variables on a side and the numbers on side:
38x = 31x + 63
38x - 31x = 31x - 31x + 63
7x = 63
Divide both sides by 7 to have the variable x on a side and its value on the other:
(7x)/7 = 63/7
x = 9
So at month 9, the 2 plans will cost the same.
Let's check our answers, and let y be the cost:
y = 38x + 15 = 38*9 + 15 = 357
y = 31x + 78 = 31*9 + 78 = 357
Our answer has been approved.
Hope this helps! :D
