Answer: $20
Step-by-step explanation:
Here os the correct question:
Stephanie saw in an ad in the paper that her favorite kind of perfume was on sale for 25% off. If the sale price was $15, what was the original price of the perfume?
Let the original price of the perfume be y.
Since we are told that 25% is off, that means that 25% has been deducted from the original price. This can be written as:
y - (25% of y) = $15
y - (25/100 × y) = $15
y - 0.25y = $15
0.75y = $15
Divide both side by 0.75
0.75y/0.75 = $15/0.75
y = $20
The original price of the perfume is $20
−1/3⋅(8 1/7)
change 8 1/7 to an improper fraction
8 1/7 = (7*8 +1)/7 = 57/7
-1/3 * 57/7
-57/21
21 goes into 57 2 times with 15 left over
-2 15/21
divide top and bottom of the fraction by 3
-2 5/7
Choice B
We want to subtract 8x + 3 from -2x+5. We can create an expression to represent this.
-2x + 5 - (8x + 3).
After this, lets distribute the - sign (think of this like expanding something with -1).
-2x + 5 - 8x - 3
Lastly, we just need to combine like terms.
-2x + 5 - 8x - 3
Combine the 5 and -3 to get 2.
-2x + 2 - 8x
Combine the -2x and -8x to get -10x.
-10x + 2
The final answer to the question is therefore A.
The answer to number seven is EDF!
