Your answer is $1.26
You can solve this problem with or without a calculator, and I don't know if you're allowed one or not so I'll show you both ways
Calculator:
The easiest way to find percentages of values on the calculator is to use the decimal multipliers, which are just the decimal value of the percentage. For example, 50% would be 0.5, 75% would be 0.75 etc. The decimal value of 15% is 0.15, so you would do 8.40 × 0.15 = 1.26
Non-Calculator:
This is a bit longer, but gives you the same answer. To solve without a calculator, you first divide 8.40 by 10 to find 10%, which is 0.84. Now you can divide that by 2 to find 5%, which would be 0.42, and then you add the two values (because 10% + 5% = 15%) to get 1.26
I hope this helps!
X = 17/3 :) :)
add 4 to both sides
then divide both sides by 3
Answer:
$0.65
Step-by-step explanation:
x=cost of washcloth
x+1.20=cost of towel
Now,
x+x+1.20=2.50
2x=1.30
x=0.65
So, cost of washcloth is $0.65
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
It's not B, since that is describing a <em>line graph</em>.
It's not C, since that is describing a <em>table</em>.
Out of <em>A and D, they both work</em>, but A sounds more fitting.
Answer:
Let's call the length of the field "l", and the width of the field "w".
If the area of the field is 72 square meters, then we have:
l x w = 72
And if the length is 6 meters longer than the width, we have:
l = w+6
So looking at the first equation (l x w = 72), we can substitute the l for a w+6.
And we obtain:
(w+6) x (w) = 72
Which simplifies to w^2 + 6w = 72.
This quadratic equation is pretty easy to solve, you just need to factor it.
w^2 + 6w - 72 = 0
(w-6)(w+12)
This leaves the roots of the quadratic equation to be 6 and -12, but in this case, a width of -12 wouldn't make sense.
So, the width of the rectangular field is 6, and the length of the field is 12.
Let me know if this helps!
