Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Y is the amount of back pack

The total amount is represented by m

If Y is the cost of back pack purchased by Oliver, then 0.7 Y is the tax applicable on the purchase of back pack

Hence, the remaining cost would be total amount with Oliver minus the cost of back pack and the tax applicable on the purchase of back pack

Remaining cost  = m - (y + 0.07y)

Hence, option A is correct

Scott brought $23.25 to the art supply store. He bought a brush, a sketchbook, and a paint set. The brush was one fourth as much
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Paint set cost = 10.5 , Sketch book cost = 7 , Brush cost = 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of paint set be = p

Cost of sketchbook 's' = (2 / 3) p

Cost of brush 'b' = 1/4th of s = 1 / 4 [ (2 / 3) p ] = (1 / 6) p

Total expenditure = Money bought - Money left = 23.25 - 4 = 19.25

Total expenditure = Cost of (pen + of sketchbook + of brush) = p + s + b

= p +  (2 / 3) p + (1 / 6) p  = 19.25 → p + 2p / 3 + p / 6 = 19.25

( 6p + 4p + p ) / 6 = 19.25 → 11p / 6  = 19.25 →  p = ( 19.25  x 6 ) / 11

p = 10.5 ; s = (2 / 3) p  = 2 / 3 (10.5) = 7 ; b = (1 / 6) p  = 10.5 / 6 = 1.75

A chef had 7 potatoes. How many could he make if each bowl using one-seventh of a potato?
seraphim [82]
If each bowl uses one-seventh of a potato, that means the chef can make 7 bowls using one potato. Since there are 7 potatoes, we would multiply 7x7 to get 49 bowls.

49 is your answer.

netineya [11]

Answer:

220%

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 11/5 to a percent, we can first convert it to a decimal by division.

11/5 = 11÷5 = 2.2

Now multiply this by 100:

2.2(100) = 220

Thus it is 220%.
