Answer:
c=17/16
Step-by-step explanation:
3/16=c-7/8
find the common denominator
3/16=c-14/16
add 14/16 on both sides to cancel
c=17/16
You know the total amount, 32.00, and the cost of each gallon, 1.60, so you can make an equation using x as the amount of gallons bought.
1.60x = 32.00
Now just divide 32.00 by 1.60
x= 32.00/1.60
x= 20
The answer is 1/7 and can be explained mathematically in the picture
Answer:
My bid was $42 less than the winning bid.
Step-by-step explanation:
The winning bid is x.
$28 is 40% of x
0.4x = 28
x = 28/0.4
x = 70
The winning bid was $70.
$70 - $28 = $42
Answer: My bid was $42 less than the winning bid.
