An algebraic expression is a phrase in mathematics that consists of numbers such as 1,2,3 and the like, variables which are represented with letters and operations like addition, multiplication, subtraction and division. It is usually used to represent a certain situation which would relate the variables involved. To write the algebraic expression for the problem statement above, we do as follows:
Let x = number of consoles to be bought
y = number of games to be bought
z = number of controllers to bebought
C = total cost of all
The total cost would be equal to the sum of the price multiplied by the number of consoles, games and controllers bought. We write the algebraic expression as follows,
C = 299x + 59.99y + 29.99z
Well, seeing the information above, he used 5/8 of paint to paint the fence and table top. If he only had 1/8 left of the paint, he used 2/8 on the chair.
I found the 5/8 because I needed a common denominator. I multiplied the top and bottom by 2 to get 2/8. 3/8+2/8=5/8, and then I added 2/8 to the 5/8 that then gave me 7/8 of paint used, and 1/8 of paint left.
Hope I helped!
Im not sure but I think the correct answers are:
3. B
4. A
The first step in solving this problem is to compute the amount
of markup. You can do this by deducting the original price to the marked up
price.
$70.00 - $35.50 = $34.50
To get the percent of markup, you have to divide the amount
of markup to the original price.
$34.50 / $35.50 = 97.2%
