Percent is pars out of 100
40%=40/100=4/10=0.4
'of' means multiply
0.4 times something=56
divide both sides by 0.4
something=140
th enumber is 140
You can solve this question using two different methods. One is obviously a hit and trial method in which you keep guessing a number which gives the same amount of total cost. Second is forming two different equations and then solving them using simultaneous methods learnt.
The correct answer is 75 miles. I used the hit and trial method. You can see 20 + 75 * 0.35 = 46.25 and similarly 35 + 75 * 0.15 = 46.25. Hence the same cost.
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
group the first 2 terms into (8*8) and the second two into (8*6). this gets you 8*8-8*6 which can be grouped into 8*2 which is 16
Here's how you do long division
He would have to pay $560 because if you take 20% off of the computer using the equation 1000 - (1000 * 0.20) you get 800. This means that the 30% coupon is applied to $800, so using the same template as the equation above, we can do 800 - (800 * 0.30) to get a final answer of 560.
