First, it would help to put 46 and 2/3 into an improper fraction: 140/3.
Then, since this is a percent, we put that improper fraction over 100: (140/3)/100 = 140/300.
Finally, we multiply this answer by 28 since "of" means multiply:
(140/300) * 28 = 196/15 = 13 1/15
To solve for m we want to get m by itself on one side of the equals sign, with everything else on the other side. First we subtract b from both sides, to get it out of the right side of the equation:
y - b = mx + b - b
y - b = mx
Now we divide both sides by x, to get m completely by itself:
(y-b)/x = (mx)/x
(y-b)/x = m
So m is equal to (y-b)/x.
Answer: the top box can be the linear equation y=40x+15 and the bottom box is 40
Step-by-step explanation:
If you swim 15 more minutes than your friend and your swam 55 minutes, that means your friend only swam 40 minutes. The set amount of time that your friend swims for <em>x</em> is 40 minutes. So the additional time you swim is <em>b</em>, 15 minutes.
Answer:
A. $3.59
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay so wrapping paper 4.99 she got three. So we would take 4.99 and subtract 80%. We would get 0.998. We multiply this by three because that's how many she got. After multiplying it's 2.994, rounded just 2.99. She payed 2.99 for wrapping paper. Now with the candy canes, we take 2.99 and subtract 80%. 0.59. Added we get 3.58, and we can go ahead and round that up to $3.59. Before tax she payed $3.59.
