The answer is B since a negative number being subtracted cancels out and becomes a number, for example: since its -(-3) it becomes positive.
1)
36/3 x 42/3 = 12yd x 14yd
12×14=168
you will need 168 square yards to recarpet the kindergarten.
2)
168×24.99=4198.32
it will cost $4198.32 to recarpet the kindergarten.
3)
3.5 is 35% of 10
4198.32÷3.5=1198.52
they will need to sell 1199 coupon books to completely pay for the the recarpeting.
4 1/2 + 3 1/4 + 2 1/4 = 10 pounds of apples.
10 pounds is approximately 4.5 kilograms.
3/5 are not polka dotted, so first find 1/5. 20/5 is 4, so 1/5=4. 4x3 is 12 ribbons. Hope this helped!
