First, let’s all acknowledge that whoever comes up with problems like this WANTS kids to hate math...smh
I’m sure there is a prettier way to solve this, but here’s what I did:
8(2.25) + 3(22.50) =
18 + 67.50 = 85.50 per “set” of balls/jerseys
400/85.50 = 4.678 = number of “sets” he can buy. Round down to 4 so we have room for tax.
85.5 x 4 “sets”= $342
Tax on 342 is 0.06 x 342 = 20.52
$342 + 20.52 = $362.52 spent
Basketballs = 4 sets x 8 balls per set= 32
Jerseys = 4 sets x 3 jerseys per set= 12
32 basketballs, 12 jerseys, $362.52 spent
It would be < and > ........
Answer:
x = 4 or x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Take square both the sides,
x² - x - 12 = 0
x² - 4x + 3x - 3*4 =0
x*(x - 4) + 3*(x - 4)= 0
(x- 4 )(x+3) =0
x -4 =0 or x + 3 = 0
x = 4 or x = -3
Answer:
11h + 15s = E
Step-by-step explanation:
E = total earnings
s = the amount of skis sold
h = how many hours she works
