Let, the price of jacket before tax = x

it would be: x*105/100 = 118.65

x = 11865/105

x = $113

Explain how to multiply the following whole numbers 21 x 14

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

$\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&\textbf{1}\\ \times \:&1&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}$

________

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{0}&8&4\\ +&\textbf{2}&1&0\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&9&4\end{matrix}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$21\:\times \:14$

Line up the numbers

$\begin{matrix}\space\space&2&1\\ \times \:&1&4\end{matrix}$

Multiply the top number by the bottom number one digit at a time starting with the ones digit left(from right to left right)

Multiply the top number by the bolded digit of the bottom number

$\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&\textbf{1}\\ \times \:&1&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}$

Multiply the bold numbers: 1×4=4

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&2&\textbf{1}\\ \times \:&1&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&4\end{matrix}}$

Multiply the bold numbers: 2×4=8

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&1\\ \times \:&1&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&8&4\end{matrix}}$

Multiply the top number by the bolded digit of the bottom number

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&\textbf{1}\\ \times \:&\textbf{1}&4\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&8&4\end{matrix}}$

Multiply the bold numbers: 1×1=1

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&2&\textbf{1}\\ \space\space&\times \:&\textbf{1}&4\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&8&4\\ \space\space&\space\space&1&\space\space\end{matrix}}$

Multiply the bold numbers: 2×1=2

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&\textbf{2}&1\\ \space\space&\times \:&\textbf{1}&4\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&8&4\\ \space\space&2&1&\space\space\end{matrix}}$

Add the rows to get the answer. For simplicity, fill in trailing zeros.

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&2&1\\ \space\space&\times \:&1&4\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&0&8&4\\ \space\space&2&1&0\end{matrix}}$

adding portion

$\begin{matrix}\space\space&0&8&4\\ +&2&1&0\end{matrix}$

Add the digits of the right-most column: 4+0=4

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&0&8&\textbf{4}\\ +&2&1&\textbf{0}\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&\space\space&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}}$

Add the digits of the right-most column: 8+1=9

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&0&\textbf{8}&4\\ +&2&\textbf{1}&0\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\space\space&\textbf{9}&4\end{matrix}}$

Add the digits of the right-most column: 0+2=2

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{0}&8&4\\ +&\textbf{2}&1&0\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&9&4\end{matrix}}$

Therefore,

$\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&\textbf{1}\\ \times \:&1&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}$

________

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{0}&8&4\\ +&\textbf{2}&1&0\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\space\space&\textbf{2}&9&4\end{matrix}}$

Lia has a dog and a cat. Together, the pets weigh 24 pounds. The dog weighs 2 times as much as the cat.

telo118 [61]

Answer:

The dog weighs 16 pounds, while the cat weighs 8 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the weight of the dog d, and the weight of the cat c.

d+c=24

d=2c

Substitute the second equation into the first:

(2c)+c=24

3c=24

c=8

d=24-8=16

Hope this helps!
