Reduce any fractions to lowest terms.Don’t round your answer, and don’t use mixed fractions

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

t < $\frac{38}{17}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Add '5t' to both sides

12t - 2 +5t < -5t +36 +5t

17t -2 < 36

Add ' 2' to both sides

17t -2 +2 < 36 + 2

17t < 38

Dividing '17' on both sides

$\frac{17t}{17}$ < $\frac{38}{17}$

The denominator of a fraction is 10 more than its numerator.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

The right answer is Option C : 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

The numerator of fraction = x

The denominator of a fraction is 10 more than its numerator.

$\frac{x}{x+10}$

When 1/3 is added to this fraction,

$\frac{x}{x+10}+\frac{1}{3}$

the resulting fraction’s denominator is three times the denominator of the original fraction its numerator is 15 less than its denominator

$\frac{3(x+10)-15}{3(x+10)}$

Therefore, it becomes

$\frac{x}{x+10}+\frac{1}{3} = \frac{3(x+10)-15}{3(x+10)}$

Taking LCM on left side

$\frac{3x+(x+10)}{3(x+10)}=\frac{(3x+30)-15}{3(x+10)}\\\\\frac{3x+x+10}{3(x+10)}=\frac{3x+30-15}{x(x+10)}\\\\\frac{4x+10}{3(x+10)}=\frac{3x+15}{3(x+10)}$

Multiplying both sides by 3(x+10)

$3(x+10)*\frac{4x+10}{3(x+10)}=\frac{3x+15}{3(x+10)}*3(x+10)\\4x+10=3x+15\\4x-3x=15-10\\x=5$

The numerator of original fraction is 5.

The right answer is Option C : 5

Makovka662 [10]

Deposited money:

March: 120
April: 120+(120×20)/100=120+24=144
May: 144+(144×20)/100=144+18,8=162,8
June: 162,8+(162.8×20)/100=162,8+32.56=195.36
July: 195.36+(195.36×20)/100=195.36+23.87=219.23
August: 219.23+(219.23×20)/100=219.23+43.85=263.08

120+144+162.8+195.36+219.23+263.08=1105.19
So the answer is no.

Answer:

$116.59

Step-by-step explanation:

If I had a TI-84 calculator, I could figure it out.

__

The tax is the product of tax rate and taxed amount (rounded to cents):

0.06 × $109.99 = $6.5994 ≈ $6.60

The amount you have to pay is the total of the listed price and the tax:

$109.99 +6.60 = $116.59
