Step-by-step explanation:
Associative Property states that you can add or multiply regardless of how the numbers are grouped. By 'grouped', I mean 'how you use parenthesis'. In other words, if you are adding or multiplying it does not matter where you put the parenthesis. Example: 3+(2-4) can be rewritten as (3+2)-4.
hope it helps!
Answer:
x/8
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we are given "the quotient of...". This means that we are dividing something/something else. If two numbers are given in the phrase "something and something else", the first number given will be the something, and the second number will be the something else.
The first number listed is x. Therefore, we have
x/something else.
Next, we are given "and 8", so we have x/8 as our expression
49 degrees would be the correct answer!
Answer:
(c) $80
Step-by-step explanation:
Each discounted price corresponds to the original price multiplied by a factor related to the discount. For a discount fraction of 'd', the multiplier is (1 -d).
This means you can use any of the lines in the table to find the original price.
<u>5% disount</u>: (1 -5%)·p = $76 . . . . where p is the original price
p = $76/0.95 = $80 . . . . . . . the original price
<u>10% discount</u>: (1 -10%)·p = $72
p = $72/0.90 = $80
<u>25% discount</u>: (1 -25%)·p = $60
p = $60/0.75 = $80

<em>Additional comment</em>
The table values for 5% and 10% differ by 5% and $4. That means 5% of the original price is $4. There are two things you can do with this:
- add back that 5% to the 5%-discounted price: $76 +4 = $80
- multiply that 5% by 20 to get 100% of the original price: 20(5%) = 20($4) ⇒ 100% = $80.
It could basically be used to simplify 130(26) because if you multiply the number on the outside of the parenthesis(13) with the numbers inside the parenthesis(10+2), you will get <span>130(26).</span>
