Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
factor each total
27 = 3 x 3 x 3
18 = 3 x 3 x 2
45 = 3 x 3 x 5
The largest (and only) common factor is 3
however each factorization also contains the product 3 x 3 = 9
so the maximum each bag may have cost is $9 and if so, she sold 5 bags of sugar cookies.
another option would be that each bag cost $3 and she sold 15 bags of sugar cookies. However, the question asked for the maximum possible price.
The correct answer is : Step 3: He should have divided both sides by -5 because in order to isolate x from -5x, you must divide its coefficient, which is -5. Dividing 5 from both sides leaves -1x or -x.
To solve his equation start by finding how many gallons of gas you need to purchase for the total trip.
Set up an expression that divides the total distance of the trip by the miles received per gallon.
This gives you:
400 / 35
Divide to get 11.43 gallons.
To find the cost of this, multiply the total number of gallons needed to cover the trip by the cost of each gallon.
Set this up in another expression.
This results in:
11.43 x 3.30
Multiply the values to find the total cost.
This leaves you with:
37.72
So, the total cost for gas for a 400 mile trip on 35 miles per gallon is $37.72.
I hope this is correct and helps you! :)
Since you are not allowed to draw a black marble, then you have only 7 ways to draw either a blue or a red marble. The sum of all marbles is 10. So the probability of not drawing a black marble is 7/10 and the probability of drawing a red marble is 2/10 or 1/5.
the answer would be 356.40 dollars
