Answer:

The amount of candy you had before is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

75% + 25% makes 100% percent.

If we take 25% off from 8, you get 6.

A quick way to do this is: 8(.25)

If you solve that, you get 2. 8 - 2 is 6, which is what you originally had.

Find the measure of the indicated angle below

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The measure of x is $70\°$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the sum of the internal angles of a polygon is equal to

$S=(n-2)*180\°$

where

n is the number of sides

In this problem we have

$n=9\ sides$

substitute

$S=(9-2)*180\°=1,260\°$

Find the measure of each internal angle

Divide the sum of the internal angles by the number of sides

$1,260\°/9=140\°$

The value of x is half the measure of internal angle

$x=140\°/2=70\°$

Lostsunrise [7]

2 ounce bag will cost less than $1.25

6 ounces ÷ 3 = 2 ounces

$3.60 ÷ 3 = $1.20
OR
$3.60 ÷ 6 ounces = $0.60 per ounce
2 ounces = $ 0.60 × 2 = $1.20
