Answer:
A) $15
Step-by-step explanation:
let x represent the regular price of the mirror
so, 20% of x = 3
20/100 * x = 3
20x = 300
x = 300/20
x = 15
Hence, the regular price of the mirror is $15
Each friend receives 2 bags because 4 divided by 8 is 2
The term (2 + 8) is described as the total amount of pieces of fabric. It makes it easier to put this term this way so you wouldn't have to do (8 x 5) + (2 x 5) and do the distributive property.
1/7 = 2/14 =

<span>
<span>
0.1428571429
</span>

1/8 = 2/16 = 0.125
2/15 =
<span>
<span>
<span>
0.1333333333

So, 2/15 is between 1/7 and 1/8
(and there are an infinite amount of numbers between 1/7 and 1/8)
Answer:
Total cost = <em>$</em> 4.55
Step-by-step explanation:
2(8a + 5b) -(2a + 3b)
<em>Part A: Simplify the expression shown above</em>
Exapanding the brackets;
16a + 10b - 2a - 3b
Collecting like terms;
16a - 2a + 10b - 3b
14a + 7b
<em>Part B: If a represents apples that cost $0.25 each and b represents bananas that cost SO. 15 each, what is the total cost based on the expression above?</em>
a = 0.25
b = 0.15
14a + 7b
Inserting the values into the equation;
14 (0.25) + 7(0.15)
Total cost = <em>$</em> 4.55
