Without experience that would help you recognize it right away, I think
you would just need to try numbers until you find it.
Pick a number, multiply it by itself with pencil and paper, and see if it works.
(2)² = 4 too small
(3)² = 9 too small, and not growing fast enough; this could take all day
(10)² = 100 still too small
(15)² = 225 oops, too big; go back down
(12)² = 144 too small
(14)² = 196 too big
(13)² = 169 just right; hope the bears don't come back too soon
Answer:
Rocco doesn't have enough money to buy the golf irons
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the rest of the money left in the savings account
using proportion
![\frac{\$48}{20\%}=\frac{x}{80\%}\\ \\x=48*80/20\\ \\x=\$192](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5C%2448%7D%7B20%5C%25%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B80%5C%25%7D%5C%5C%20%5C%5Cx%3D48%2A80%2F20%5C%5C%20%5C%5Cx%3D%5C%24192)
step 2
we know that
The set of golf irons has an original price of $359
Applying 40% discount
100%-40%=60%=60/100=0.60
after the discount the price will be
![0.60(\$359)=\$215.4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0.60%28%5C%24359%29%3D%5C%24215.4)
![\$215.4> \$192](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%24215.4%3E%20%5C%24192)
therefore
Rocco doesn't have enough money to buy the golf irons
Minus p both sides
xy=5-p
divide both sides by x
y=(5-p)/x
B
Both have the same denominator
Remove the denominator
5=n
