D!!!
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Rose bought 14 packages of granola bars.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total bill = 1 bag of potatoes + x amount of packages of granola bars
Total bill = $74.25
1 bag of potatoes = $6.00
1 package of granola bar = 5.25
We set the equation to:
74.25 = 6.00 + 5.25x
Subtract 6.00 from both sides:
68.25 = 5.25x
Divide both sides by 5.25 to leave x by itself
68.25/5.25 = 5.25x/5.25
13 = x
This means Rose bought 13 packages of granola bars.
Let's recheck our work by inputting x = 13 into the equation:
74.25 = 6.00 + 5.25(13)
74.25 = 6.00 + 68.25
74.25 = 74.25
So the book guy mark downed the price of the books by 46%, also known as 0.46. All decimals are less than 1. So then, what you do is you take b, which is the variable defining the price of the book, then you multiply it by 0.46. So the answer of b would be b x 0.46. For C, you must do 29 x 0.54, and that will give you the answer for C. Finally, in D, take the answer you got in C, and subtract that by 29. This will give you your answer.
