answer:
a. scarf costs today = $6
b. scarf costs 3 days from now = $3
step-by-step explanation:
- 1/2 off means you would multiply the amount by 1/2 then subtract
a. original price of scarf: $12
12 X 1/2 = 6
12 - 6 = 6
— scarf costs today = $6
- do the same thing but this time it is a different number
b. 12 X 3/4 = 9
12 - 9 = 3
— scarf costs 3 days from now = $3
Let dimes = d and quarters =q
D + q = 50
D= 50-q
0.10d + 0.25Q = 7.70
Replace d with 50-q:
0.10(50-q) + 0.25q = 7.70
Simplify:
5 -0.10q + 0.25q = 7.70
5 + 0.15q = 7.70
Subtract 5 from both sides:
0.15q = 2.70
Divide both sides by 0.15:
Q = 2.70 / 0.15
Q = 18
D = 50-18 = 32
There are 32 dimes and 18 quarters
Answer: 54 berry plants
Step-by-step explanation:
From the sample there are:
Lettuce = 12
Tomatoes = 6
Peppers = 3
Berries = 9
The total is: = 12 + 6 + 3 + 9 = 30 plants
Berries comprise of:
= 9/30
= 3/10 of the plants
If they want to plant a total of 180, the number of berrie plants needed is:
= 3/10 * 180
= 54 berry plants
