Work backwards.
After she put half of what she had left in, she had 17.76.
Multiply by 2:
17.76 * 2 = 35.52
Add 25:
35.52 + 25 = 60.52
Add 14.48:
75
So she received $75 on her birthday.
Step 1: Let's review the information provided to us to answer the problem correctly:
• Option 1: $5.99 for 12 coffees
,
• Option 2: $ 23.99 for 70 coffee
Step 2: Let's calculate the cost of a coffee in each option, as follows:
• Cost of a coffee in Option 1 = 5.99/12 = 0.50 (rounding to the next cent): This means that every cup of coffee costs $ 0.50
• Cost of a coffe in Option 2 = 23.99/70 = 0.34 This means that every cup of coffee costs $ 0.34
Step 3: Now we can decide which is the better deal and why.
The better deal is option ........ because it is cheaper than option..........
You can complete step 3, Kay.
Hello!
You solve this algebraically
6(3 - 2x) = 54
distribute the 6
18 - 12x = 54
Subtract 18 from both sides
-12x = 36
Divide both sides by -12
x = -3
The answer is -3
Hope this helps!
Answer:
90 hardcover books
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this by setting up a couple of equations.
Let's allow x to represent the number of paperbacks Tim owns, and allow y to represent the number of hardcover books he owns.
Using the information in the question, we can write the equations:
1)x = 4y-3
2) x+y=447
Let's rearrange equation 1 so that it is in standard form:
x-4y=-3
And then let's multiply equation 2 by 4 so that we can cancel out y when we solve the system of equations:
4(x+y=447)
4x+4y=1,788
Then we can add the two equations and solve for x:
1) x-4y=-3
+ 2)4x+4y=1,788
------------------------------------
5x=1,785
x=357
So now we now the number of paperback books Tim has is 357. Let's plug this into one of the original equations to solve for the number of hardcover books (y):
357+y=447
y=90
And now we know that Tim owns 90 hardcover books.
