Answer: 51
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the number.
(70%)x = 42
0.7 x = 42
x = 60
we check 15% x 60 = 0.15 x 60 = 9, which is true.
85% of that number = 85% x 60 = 0.85 x 60 = 51.
B. $400 would be the answer when using front end estimation.
Answer:
x intercept is (1/2, 0).
y intercept = (0, -1/3)
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3x - 1/3 = 0
2/3x = 1/3
x = 1/3 * 3/2
x = 1/2.
y = 2/3(0) - 1/3 = -1/3.
