Answer : b=3
Hope this helps have a great day! :)
Let, the price of jacket before tax = x
it would be: x*105/100 = 118.65
x = 11865/105
x = $113
4/5x + 4/3 = 2x....there are 2 ways to do this...one with fractions, one without.
with :
4/5x + 4/3 = 2x
4/3 = 2x - 4/5x
4/3 = 10/5x - 4/5x
4/3 = 6/5x
4/3 * 5/6 = x
20/18 = x
10/9 = x
without :
4/5x + 4/3 = 2x....multiply by common denominator of 15
12x + 20 = 30x
20 = 30x - 12x
20 = 18x
20/18 = x
10/9 = x
You are looking for the average. To find the average, one adds all terms and divides by the number of terms.
((1/2)+(5/6))/2
((3/6)+(5/6))/2
(8/6)/2
(4/6)
(2/3)
The answer is B) 2/3.
