Answer: Option #4: the 0.2 could be changed to 2.
Explanation:
The table is designed to make the concept of percentages more understandable. The table first allocates the total amount of 70 in terms of its "fifths," or 20% parts. Then it expresses these parts in the last row of the table, showing that 20% of 70 is 14 and all the five parts sum up to 70 again.
Now, Mikel is supposed to express 40% of the amount. So she writes (incorrectly): 0.2 * 14. This statement needs to be changed to 2 * 14 (two times 14 = 28), to correspond to 2 times 20%, or 40% of 70.
This is reflected in the last (fourth) option "The 0.2 in the expression could be changed to 2."
Option #3 is incorrect because changing 14 to 70, will result in an incorrect number (2.8).
Options 1 and 2 are similarly incorrect (as can be easily verified)
Answer:
A, B & D
Step-by-step explanation:
Because if you subtract one of the constants from both sides then you should only have equal variables. In other words, both sides have to be identical in this situation.
33x-33= 33x + 25
33x = 33x + 58 No matter what you make x, the right will be 58 bigger than the right so there is no solution.
33x+33=33x+25
33x+8= 33x nope no solution
33x+25=33x+25
33x = 33x both sides identical so there is a solution
33x-25 = 33x +25
33x= 33x+50
Answer:
20 + 5m = 140
$24 on each day of the last five days
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount to spend in 6 days = $140
He spent:
First day = $20
Balance = Total amount to spend - Amount spent on first day
= $140 - $20
= $120
He spent the same amount of money during the next five days.
Amount spent each day in the last 5 days = Balance / 5 days
= 120 / 5
= 24
Amount spent each day in the last 5 days = $24
The equation is
20 + 5m = 140
Where,
m = amount spent in the last five days
20 + 5m = 140
5m = 140 - 20
5m = 120
m = 120 / 5
m = $24
