A way to add fractions that always works is to multiply each numerator by the denominator of the other, then express the sum of products over the product of the denominators.
Here, you have
The sum is -1 1/12
Answer: 16 double rooms and 10 single rooms were rented.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of double rooms that were rented.
Let y represent the number of single rooms that were rented.
The total number of rooms rented in a day is 26. It means that
x + y = 26
A motel rents double rooms at $34 per day and single rooms at $26 per day. If all the rooms that were rented for one day cost a total of $804, it means that
34x + 26y = 804 - - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 26 - y into equation 1, it becomes
34(26 - y) + 26y = 804
884 - 34y + 26y = 804
- 34y + 26y = 804 - 884
- 8y = - 80
y = - 80/ - 8 = 10
x = 26 - y = 26 - 10
x = 16
Percent means parts out of 100 so
22%=22/100=0.22
'of' means multiply
'is' means =
36 is 22% of what
36=0.22 times what
divide both sides by 0.22
163.636363=what
the number is163.636363....
100 divided by 7 is 14 r 2, so there are 2 left over
