<h3>Answer:  40 inches</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

  • x = first piece
  • 2x = second piece, since its twice as long as the first
  • 5x = third piece, since its five time as long as the first

x is some positive real number, and the units of each are in inches.

Add up the smaller pieces and we should get 64 inches back again

x+2x+5x = 64

8x = 64

x = 64/8

x = 8

The first piece is 8 inches long.

2x = 2*8 = 16 is the length of the second piece (in inches)

The third piece is 40 inches because 5x = 5*8 = 40

--------

Summary:

first = 8 inches

second = 16 inches

third = 40 inches

Check: 8+16+40 = 64, which confirms the answer

Todd wants to buy a new video game for $43.31. He has $55.50. The sales tax is 8.5% of the total purchase. Does Todd have enough
sammy [17]

Answer:

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can estimate* that the total price including tax of the game will be less than ...

  $43.31 +10% of 43.31 = $43.31 +4.33 = $47.61

Todd easily has enough to pay for the game, including tax.

_____

You can work this more exactly a couple of ways.

  1. Price + tax = 1.085×$43.31 = $46.99 . . . less than Todd's budget

  2. Most Todd can afford: $55.50/1.085 = $51.15 . . . more than the game price

_____

* For estimating purposes, we like to use numbers that are easy to compute with. 10% is one such number, as it only requires moving the decimal point.

29. March sales accounted for 1/7 of the total number of jazz records sold all year. About how many jazz records were sold all y
enot [183]

The March sales of Jazz records is an illustration of proportions, and the number of jazz records sold all year is 7x

<h3>How to determine the total number of sales?</h3>

The sales in March is given as:

Proportion = 1/7

Let the actual number of sales in the month of March be x, and the total sales in the year be y.

So, we have:

1/7 * y = x

Make y the subject

y =7x

Hence, the number of jazz records sold all year is 7x
