You mean 60%of 5 1/2? that makes more sense...
i would do it like this:

(60% is the same as

(so that there is no confusion, i've put it into an improper fraction
now we can multiply:





which is 3.3.
so 60% of 5 and a half is 3.3.

Answer:
$9,000
Step-by-step explanation:
$16,000 + $2,000 = $18,000
$18,000/2 = $9,000
I think this is correct but I'm not sure.
The answer to this is problem is
= 1,080,870
Answer: -3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Expanding z we get
z = 4x^2 - 4xy + y^2 - 2y^2 - 3y
= -y^2 - (4x + 3) y + 4x^2.
After Archimedes chooses x, Brahmagupta will choose
y=-(4x+3/2) in order to maximize z
Then
z=-((-4x+3)/2)^2 -(4x+3)(-4x+3)/2)^2)+4x^2
z=8x^2+6x+9/4
To minimize this expression, Archimedes should choose x=-3/8
