I haven't done these problems in a really long time, so there's a chance that my answer might be wrong. I hypothesize that the correct answer is C.
If you add all the gumballs together you get a total of 20200 gumballs now you just divide 5252 by the total number of 20200 to get the percent of 26% giving us the answer to what the percent of red there is in this container
(add all the number, divide the total number of reds by the total number of gumballs (5252 divided by 20200) which will give you the percent of red gumballs (26%)
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
In the original expression = 37.4 - 54.9 = -17.5
So, we have to solve all the equations but 1 of them has to equal to -17.5
A) -54.9 + (-37.4) = -92.3
Remove parentheses
= -54.9 - 37.4
Subtract the numbers
-92.3
B) 54.9 - 37.4 = 17.5
Since 54.9 is greater than 37.4 just subtract normally
4 14
5 4. 9 < ------- Line up the decimal points like this
- 3 7. 4 <--------- Subtract the decimals
-----------------
1 7 . 5 <---------- This is the final answer to B.
C) 37.4 - (- 54.9) = 92.3
Change the sign to addition
=37.4 + 54.9
Add the numbers normally
54.9
+ 37. 4
--------------
92.3
D) 37.4 + (-54.9) = -17.5
Change the sign to subtraction
= 37.4 - 54.9
Subtract them normally (but as you can see you are subtracting a smaller number from a larger number so heres a trick that you can use switch the equation by putting the larger number in first like this....)
54.9 - 37.4 = 17.5 (REMEMBER the answer is not 17.5 because the original equation of D is reversed 37.4 - 54.9 so in this case your answer should be
- 17.5)
37.4 - 54.9 = -17.5
Your final answer is D because it matches 37.4 - 54.9.
Hope this helps!
X,x because we dont know its value
The correct question is
<span>Keiko sold 3 less than three-fourths of his sister’s sales. Which expression represents what Keiko sold?
Let
S----------------> </span><span>the amount that Keiko's Sister sold
</span>K----------------> the amount that Keiko sold
we know that
Keiko sold 3 less than three-fourths of his sister’s sales
K=(3/4)*S-3
the answer is
K=(3/4)*S-3
