In order to divide $306 into the ratio of 9 to 5 to 3, first you have to make each section of the ratio represented by a variable, and put it into an equation.
9x + 5x + 3x = 306
Our next step is to simplify the left side of the equation by combining all of the like terms, the ones that contain variables.
17x = 306
Finally, to solve this equation, you have to divide both sides by 17 to isolate the variable x on the left side of the equation.
x = 18
However, this is not our answer as it isn't in a ratio format and doesn't really make sense. To find our ratio, we have to multiply each of our initial numbers (9, 5, and 3) by our variable, x.
9 * 18 = 162
5 * 18 = 90
3 * 18 = 54
You can verify that these numbers are correct because if you add them together you get 306.
Your final ratio is 162:90:54.
Hope this helps! :)
If you have a separate specific question about pre-tax prices and PMed me the link, I'd be happy to help you.
The answer would be 1/6 of cake.

Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)= 3x²-2x+4
f(-2)=3×(-2)²-2(-2)+4
=3×4)+4+4
=12+4+4
=20
Like terms are terms that have the same variable no matter the coefficient value such as a negative or positive coefficient (number right to left of the variable aka the letter representing an unknown amount of value).
A. 8n : - 4n becuase the have the same variable (N)
B. - 2d: D because they have the same variable and even if d has no coefficient, it still has value, variables with no coefficient always equal 1 no matter the circumstances
C. - b: 17b and -3b2 because they both have the same variable eliminating the coefficients being two different types of numbers (positive and negative). The expressions have to have the same variable.
D: 4y², -3y2,4y, and 4 to the second power. This is because they all have the same variable.
E. 6x2y: 3xy because the variable are specifially xy and they must be in order to be like terms.
abc: all because they have all the letters but are just in different orders of variables. (thats all)
