Answer:

Margaret paid 12.84 less for bags of apples this week compared to last week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of per bag of apples last week = 3.99

Cost of per bag of apples this week = 3.39

Number of bags of apples bought = 20

Now First we will find the Cost of 20 Apples bags last week.

Cost of 20 Apple bags last week can be calculated by Multiplying Cost of per bag of apples last week with number of bags of apples bought.

framing the equation we get;

Cost of 20 Apple bags last week = 20\times3.99= 79.8

Percent of sales tax =7%

Amount of money paid in sales tax last week = 7% ×Cost of 20 Apple bags last week = \frac{7}{100}\times79.8 \approx5.59

Now Total Cost paid last week is sum of Cost of 20 Apple bags last week and Amount of money paid in sales tax last week.

Total Cost paid last week = 79.8 + 5.59 = 85.39.

Now we will find the Cost of 20 Apples bags this week.

Cost of 20 Apple bags this week can be calculated by Multiplying Cost of per bag of apples this week with number of bags of apples bought.

framing the equation we get;

Cost of 20 Apple bags this week = 20\times3.39= 67.8

Percent of sales tax =7%

Amount of money paid in sales tax this week = 7% ×Cost of 20 Apple bags last week = \frac{7}{100}\times67.8 \approx4.75

Now Total Cost paid this week is sum of Cost of 20 Apple bags last week and Amount of money paid in sales tax this week.

framing in equation form we get;

Total Cost paid this week = 67.8 + 4.75 = 72.55.

Difference in cost between last week and this week is equal to Total Cost paid last week minus Total Cost paid this week.

Difference = 85.39 - 72.55 = 12.84

Hence Margaret paid 12.84 less for bags of apples this week compared to last week.

The answer for (a) is 28 and the answer for (b) is 13 but I don’t know how to get the answer
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If Quan had 15 and Kaden had 3 times as much, then Kaden had 15(3) = 45. If he spent 10 then he had 35 left. The amount of money Quan had after his mom gave him some was 4/5 the amount of Kaden's 35 (let x = the amount of money Quan has after his mom gives him some):

x=\frac{4}{5}(35)  35 divides by the 5 in the denominator 7 times, and 7 times 4 is 28. That's how you get your 28 in part a.

For part b., he started with 15 and ended with 28, so his mom gave him 28-15=13. That's how you get the 13.

Becky adds 3/4 gallon of gasoline into her snow thrower's empty fuel tank. She uses 1/4 gallon for the snowstorm on Friday, and
Kaylis [27]
Amount of fuel in the tank before the story begins . . . . . zero.

Total amount poured in . . . . . 3/4 gallon.

Total amount burned:
                   on Friday . . . . . 1/4 gallon
                   on Sunday . . . . 1/4 gallon
                        Total used . . 1/2 gallon .

Amount remaining in the tank on Monday:

               (3/4 gallon in) - (1/2 gallon burned)  =  1/4 gallon left.
                                                                        ==>  NOT empty

The tank would have been empty on Monday IF Becky
had poured in only 1/2 gallon, instead of 3/4 of a gallon

Which equation represent two less than a number is equal to 10
Rainbow [258]
For this question, we can make the number equal to n. Since two less than it is equal to ten, we know that we are dealing with subtraction. In addition, we know that doing something to n makes it equal to 10. And that something is subtracting two from it. that means that the equation that represents this scenario is n - 2 = 10.
