9514 1404 393

Answer:

  367.92

Step-by-step explanation:

72 = 9·8

In order for the total cost to be divisible by both 8 and 9, it must meet a couple of requirements:

  • The sum of the digits must be divisible by 9.
  • The last three digits must be divisible by 8.

In order for the sum of digits to be divisible by 9, the first and last digits must total 5 or 14. (The total of existing digits is 22. The sum needs to be 27 or 36.)

In order for the last three digits to be divisible by 8, the last digit must be 2*. So, the first digit must be 5-2=3.

The first digit is 3; the last digit is 2.

The total cost is 367.92. Each item price is 367.92/72 = $5.11.

_____

* 790/8 = 98.75, so (790 + 2)/8 will be 99. <em>792</em> is the only number starting with <em>79</em> that is divisible by 8.

torisob [31]

Answer:

Hey there! The answer to your question will be below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer to your question is 12x - 24=60

So we know that 12x will be the number of cookies.

It says that she kept two boxes for herself, and than she took away 24 boxes which will leave us with 60.

Here is the work:

12 (x-2)= 60

12x-24=60

So the answer should be 12x -24 = 60

Hope this helps!

Solve the equation. Check your solutions.<br> |4b+4|=|2b+8|
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

<h2><u>b = 2 or b = -2</u></h2>

Explanation:

|4b + 4| = |2b + 8|

<em>Solve absolute value</em>

|4b + 4| = |2b + 8|

Either 4b + 4 = 2b + 8 or 4b + 4 = −(2b + 8)

4b + 4 = 2b + 8 <em>(Possibility 1)</em>

4b + 4 − 2b = 2b + 8 − 2b <em>(Subtract 2b from both sides)</em>

2b + 4 = 8

2b + 4 − 4 = 8 − 4 <em>(Subtract 4 from both sides)</em>

2b = 4

2b / 2 = 4 / 2 <em>(Divide both sides by 2)</em>

b = 2

4b + 4 = −(2b + 8) <em>(Possibility 2)</em>

4b + 4 = −2b − 8 <em>(Simplify both sides of the equation)</em>

4b + 4 + 2b = −2b − 8 + 2b <em>(Add 2b to both sides)</em>

6b + 4 = −8

6b + 4 − 4 = −8 − 4 <em>(Subtract 4 from both sides)</em>

6b = −12

6b / 6 = -12 / 6 <em>(Divide both sides by 6)</em>

b = -2

<h2><u>b = 2 or b = -2</u></h2>
