Answer:
Carmen bought 5 pounds of coffee
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost of buying coffee is $8.44 per pound. Let us assume she bought x pound of coffee, this means that she spent $8.44x on coffee.
She went to the coffee store with $80 gift card and left with $37.80, this means that after spending $8.44x from the initial $80, she had $37.80. To find the number of pounds she bought, we are to use the following equation:
80 - 8.44x = 37.80
8.44x = 80 - 37.80
8.44x = 42.2
x = 42.2/ 8.44 = 5
x = 5 pounds.

Answer:
Using the percentage difference formula you can find the percentage decrease.
SO its
100(new-old/new)
So we solve
10-6=4
4/10= 2/5
2/5*100=200/5
40
40 percent decrease
Ans: 1.1 miles more
Speed = distance/time
Time is 1/5 of an hour
1/5 of 1hr = 1/5 or 0.2 hrs
Speed = 16 mph
So, we're after distance.
Distance = speed x time
= 16mph x 0.2
= 3.2 miles
Walks for 3/7 hour at 5 miles per hour :
Time & speed given, distance is what we're after.
(3/7 of 1hr is 3/7)
Distance = speed x time
= 5mph x 3/7
= 15/7 miles or 2.14285...miles
So, distance is about 2.1 miles to 1 d.p
Thus, 3.2 - 2.142... (the full ans) = 1.057... miles
Well, he biked 1.06 miles or 1.1 miles (depending on how you want to round it) more than walking.
Hope this helps!
It is simple, each y=3x so, lets just say that you have 8y, that would be equal to 24x. In other words, just multiply the number of y's, by 3
It's 8 because the number in front of the variable is the slope, while the past 30 is the y intercept
