Answer:

When given a literal equation, you will often be asked to solve the equation for a

given variable. The goal is to isolate that given variable. The process is the same

process that you use to solve linear equations; the only difference is that you will

be working with a lot more letters, and you may not be able to simplify as much as

you can with linear equations. This packet will hopefully show you the process in a

simple manner so that you will be able to solve literal equations yourself. See

examples before for the method to solving literal equations for a given variable:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve a literal equation means to rewrite the equation so a different variable stands alone on one side of the equals sign. We have to be told for which variable we want to solve.

Linear equations in one variable may take the form a x + b = 0 \displaystyle ax+b=0 ax+b=0 and are solved using basic algebraic operations. We begin by classifying linear equations in one variable as one of three types: identity, conditional, or inconsistent. An identity equation is true for all values of the variable.

I hope this helps. Sorry if I could not answer your question!

kolbaska11 [484]
It's simple. You have to subtract FIRST 18.75-5=13.75 for the Jones Family. Then you divide 13.75 by 2 bags of popcorn which equals $6.87 for the Jones Family.

For Smith Family, subtract 31.50-4=27.50. Then you divide 27.50 by 6 bags of popcorn which equals $4.58

Which statement is true? 5 6 8 27 을 ll < - 3 8 4 8 6 6
Neko [114]
Fractions

We are going to be checking each statement in order to find which of them are correct:

<h2>5/6 < 6/8 - 5/6 is smaller than 6/8</h2>

We can see that in the drawing 3/8 is smaller than 5/6. Then this statement is false.

<h2>4/6 < 5/8 - 4/6 is smaller than 5/8</h2>

We can see that in the drawing 5/8 is smaller than 4/6. Then this statement is false.

<h2>2/6 = 3/8 - 2/6 is equal to 3/8</h2>

We can see that in the drawing 3/8 is bigger than 2/6. Then this statement is false.

<h2>3/6 = 4/8 - 3/6 is equal to 4/8</h2>

We can see that in the drawing 4/8 is equal to 3/6. Then this statement is true.

<h2>Answer: 3/6 = 4/8</h2>

The Bridal Shop bought a dress from a supplier for $105 wholesale and applied a 65% markup to the price. If a 7.5% sales tax wer
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is 149.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part = Percent • Whole

Adding a 65% markup to the original price of 105 is simply multiplying the price by the decimal form of the markup, then adding that to the original price. Next, you would find 20% of your sum by multiplying the sum by 0.20. Then you would find 7.5% of <em>that</em> and add this to the price.

Solve:

105 • 0.65 = 68.25                      Find 65% of 105

105 + 68.25 = 173.25                  Add the markup to the price

173.25 • 0.20 = 34.65                 Find the discount of the new price

173.25 - 34.65 = 138.60              Subtract discount from price

138.60 • 0.075 = 10.395             Find sales tax of new price (Or round to 10.40)

<u>138.60 + 10.395 = </u><u>148.995</u><u>         Add sales tax to new price (Or </u><u>149</u><u>)</u>

Because money only goes to the hundredths place, we can either start rounding to that place in the second to last step - rounding 10.395 to 10.40 - or we can round our answer - 148.995 rounds to 149. Either way, we will still get an answer of $149.00.

Hope this helps.
