Answer:
Mila had $48 initially
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount of money they had be x
Mila spent $42; what is left would be x-42
Samuel spent $36: what is left would be x-36
So, what Mila had left is half of what Samuel has; that would be;
x-42 = 1/2(x-36)
2(x-42) = x -36
2x-84 = x -36
2x - x = 84 -36
x = $48
The correct answer is it is a figure with at least 3 straight sides. When you think of a square or a triangle they both have at least 3 sides that are straight. A circle doesn't have any straight sides so it is not a polygon.
You can prove that the other answer is wrong because of two things:
The definition of a polygon is a plane figure with at least three straight sides.
Also, when you think of most shapes what do they all have in common? The have at least three straight sides
A) A ratio system
B) The 4 lb peanuts and the 1 lb mixture because the 4lb added to the 1lb of mixture give the correct percentages.
