1.Hannah walked the same number of miles each day for 5 days. Let m represent the total number of miles Hannah walked. Write a l
mamaluj [8]

1) Given m represent the total number of miles Hannah walked.

Let us assume Hannah walked x miles each day.

So total number of miles Hannah walked in 5 days is m=5x.

2)Given Jimmy brought 2 books per day and Peter brought 4 books per day.

If d is the number of days the book drive, total number of books they brought

        =total number books brought by Jimmy+ total number of books brought by Peter                                                                          

        = 2d+4d = 6d

3) Given that c represent cost of the clothes.

Then 30% discount = 0.3c

Hence cost of the clothes = c-0.3c = 0.7c

4) Given c represent the cost of their meal before tipping.

And tip is 15% of the cost.

Hence tip = 0.15c

Hence total bill = c+0.15c=1.15c

5) Given that Tommy had 40$ in his pocket.

And pair of pants cost 37$ with 10% sales tax.

Hence cost of pants including sales tax = 37+37*0.1 = 40.1$ >40$

Hence Tommy cannot afford the pants with 40$ in his pocket.

For following problems, we should group the like terms together and then simplify.

6) (x+8)+(3x-12) = (x+3x)+8-12 = 4x-4

7) 5x+7-(3x-4) = 5x+7-3x+4 = (5x-3x)+7+4 = 2x+11

8) (x-2)-(-4x+1)=x-2+4x-1 = (x+4x)-2-1 = 5x-3

A property is listed for $580,000. The listing agreement promises to
IgorC [24]

Answer:

$26,096

Step-by-step explanation:

property taxes = 31 January + 28 February + 31 March + 30 April + 31 May + 4 June = 155 days

property taxes = (155 days/365 days) x $5,309 = $2,254

agent's commission = 7% x $547,000 = $38,290

seller's net = $547,000 - $480,000 (mortgage) - $38,290 (agent's commission) - $360 (home warranty) - $2,254 (property taxes) = $26,096

PLEASE HELP ME! THANK YOU! :)
QveST [7]
All we need to do is to divide August and September rainfall measurements into two equal halves and then substract 0.6 from one of them and add 0.6 to the other one.

6.2 ÷ 2 = 3.1
3.1 - 0.6 = 2.5
3.1 + 0.6 = 3.7

It's said that in August there was 0.6 inch more rainfall, so the bigger value (3.7 inches) is for August and the smaller value (2.5 inches) is for September.
