I can’t do it rn so just dm me later
You would do
51-5= 46
then you would divide
46/2= 23
so Susan is
23+5=28
Susan is 28 years old and her sister is 23
28+23=51
Answer:
b x 5 = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
This is one of the many correct answers. The reason why is because it shows that the variable is correct. And if you didn’t know what the variable was you could just divide 30 / 5.
The final price (what it is selling for) is $796.40
The markup is 10% of the original price (the dealer's cost) , meaning that it is 10% more.
We need to find the original price.
We write this as an equation
The original price *110% = final price
This is because the original price is itself (100%) added with 10%
Plug in the known final price
Original Price * 110% = 796.40
Convert 110% to a decimal because the other numbers- such as the final price are also decimal numbers.
Convert 110% to a decimal by moving the decimal point up 2 spaces ( basically dividing it by 100)
110% = 1.1
So it is now
Original price *1.1 = 796.40
Divide both sides by 1.1 to isolate our unknown, the original price
Original price = $724
The table you drew under the question is exactly the right way to start.
-- Make a second column, next to the 6 and 7. This column will be
the actual number of each thing.
-- You know that there are 42 marbles, so write '42' in the box
next to the 6, on the 'Marbles' line.
Now you need to figure out what to write in the 'Stones' line, next to the 7.
-- Look at the 'Marbles' line. There's a 6 and then a 42.
Ask yourself: " Self ! What does the 6 have to be multiplied with to get 42 ?"
-- Whatever the answer is, drop down to the 'Stones' line,
and multiply the 7 by the same number.
The product is the total number of stones, and it goes in the box.

(The mystery number is 7. There are 49 stones.)
