Answer:

6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimated distance = 80 miles

Actual distance covered = 75.5 miles

We need to find the percent error of the cyclist's estimate. Its formula is given by :

\%=\dfrac{|\text{actual value-estimated value}|}{\text{actual value}}\times 100

Put all the values,

\%=\dfrac{80-75.5}{75.5}\times 100\\\\=5.96\%

or

= 6%

So, the percentage error is 6%.

A roast beef sandwich costs $6.75. A customer buys multiple roast beef sandwiches. Write an equation that represents the situati
Nitella [24]

Answer:

1. 6.75x or (6.75, 1)

2. He buys 9 sandwiches.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first one, we know that he pays $6.75 for each sandwich, so if x equals the number of sandwiches, when written out it would be 6.75x

For the second one, we have to divide it up and solve one step at a time, and when we start solving them, we will find the pieces to figure out the other problems. Let's start with how much he paid. We know that he paid $80, but we have to remember that he got change back. So to find out how much he truly paid, we subtract the 19.25 from the 80. When we do this, we get 60.75. Now, to find out how many sandwiches he got, we can use how much he paid for each one. We know that he paid $6.75 for each one, and in total he spent $60.75. So to find out, we can simply divide 6.75 into 60.75, and we get 9. So now we know that he bought 9 sandwiches.

I hope this helps :)

Sam paid $8.28 for 18 stamps.at this rate,how much would it cost Sam to buy 12 stamps
allsm [11]

Answer: It costs $5.52 to Sam to buy 12 stamps.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Sam paid $8.28 for 18 stamps.

Thus, the cost of 18 stamps = $8.28

Then the cost of 1 stamp=\frac{8.28}{18}

Thus, the cost of 1 stamp=$0.46

With the same rate , the cost of 12 stamps=0.46\times12

Therefore, the cost of 12 stamps= $5.52

hence, it costs $5.52 to Sam to buy 12 stamps.
