To find the amount he spent on bags of mulch you must take the cost of the shovel away from the total, giving the equation:
46.16-14.75=3.49x
To covert this to whole numbers, multiply by 100
4616-1475=349x
3141=349x
x=9
Answer:
two million, three hundred eighty-nine thousand and nine
Step-by-step explanation:
The inequality would be
0.75q ≥ 0.70(q+1)
q is defined as the number of questions he answers after the first one. We are told he gets 75% of those correct; 75%=75/100=0.75. This gives us 0.75q.
Since he gains proficiency on the exercises, the total number he gets correct has to be at least 70%. This means the inequality would have the symbol greater than or equal to, as it cannot be less and have him gain proficiency.
He has already answered 1 question and answers q more; this gives us a total of q+1. Since he gains proficiency, the cutoff was 70%; 70%=70/100=0.70. This gives us the expression 0.70(q+1).
Our total inequality would then be 0.75q ≥ 0.70(q+1)
