Answer:
Tuesday, 1: 30 pounds
Tuesday, 2: 40% of the apples
Tuesday, 3: x ( or any variable) + 8
Tuesday, 4: 9a-3b
Step-by-step explanation:
Since she weighs 38% of the normal weight, you multiply the decimal form to the original weight, which is 78. So .38 multiplied by 78 is 29.64, and rounding it to the nearest pound would make it go up to 30.
38%=.38
.38 x 78=29.64
29.64 rounded = 30
If 3/5 of the apples are ripe, that means that 2/5 are not. An easy way to turn this fraction into a percent is to make the number out of 100. Since 5 x 20 is 100, you multiple both the numerator and denominator by 20. 2 x 20 is 40, 5 x 20 is 100, hence 40/100. The numerator will be the percentage.
5/5-3/5 = 2/5
2/5 x 20/20 = 40/100
40/100 = 40%
The unknown score would become a variable, and since its increasing by 3 it is +8.
Since the perimeter is adding all sides, you'd add all of the equations. The 3a's times 3 would be 9a, and the -b would become -3b.
3a - b + 3a - b + 3a - b
9a - b - b - b
9a - 3b
