3 1/8
First you take the all the dogs that gained 3/4 (which is 4)
Then you multiply it by 4
3/4x4=3
Then you add the dogs that gained 1/8 of a pound
3+1/8=3 1/8
X/(x+5) = (x-2)/(x+1)
x(x+1) = (x -2) (x + 5)
x^2 + x = x^2 - 2x + 5x - 10
x = 3x - 10
3x - x = 10
2x = 10
x = 5
answer is A
5
1) online has the lower unit price
27.25 / 5 = 5.45
32.16 / 6 = 5.3583333.... rounded it would be
5.35
2) The cost of 7 pounds would be 103.18
73.70 / 5 = 14.74 (cost of one pound)
14.74 x 7 = 103.18
3) The scarf in October costed more
13.35 / 3 = 4.45 (one scarf)
22.65 / 5 = 4.53
hope this helps
Kx=y-m
x=(y-m)/k
Note that this is also standard linear form, x=y/k-m/k where slope=1/k and x intercept is -m/k.
36 * 7 gives you the number of nails in the whole pounds
36 * 2/3 gives you the fraction part
7 * 36 = 252
2/3 * 36 = 24
Total nails = 252 + 24 = 276 nails
