What is the price per ounce, rounded to the nearest cent? $0.29.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let first odd number = a, second odd number = a +2, third odd number = a + 4
a + a + 2 + a + 4 = 987
3a + 6 = 987
3a = 981
a = 327
First odd number = a = 327
Second odd number = a + 2 = 329
Third odd number = a + 4 = 331
Answer:
a = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
STEP 1) 4a - 16 = 4 • (a - 4)
We can put this information into two equations:
7 booklets = 140 stamps
3 booklets = 60 stamps
Let us then focus on one equation to find the relationship:
7 booklets = 140 stamps
If we put that into a fraction, we get

or

.
This means that for every booklet, Ashley gets 20 stamps; or rather, each booklet has 20 stamps.
We can then see that this relationship holds true for the second equation as well:

or

.
To write a general equation for this relationship using
p for the number of postage stamps, and
b for the number of booklets:
p = 20b
Where
b is equal to
p.
Multiply the numbers
2(2/3)
2/1(2/3)= 4/3 = 1 1/3
