Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross multiplying
5z =14*24
5z = 336
Divide by 5
z = 336/5
Or mixed fraction z= 67(1/5)
Decimal z= 67.2
9 is subtracted from the sum of 5 and a number
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A grocery store has a 13%-off sale on all bread.
Let b represent the original price of a loaf of bread.
This means that the amount by which the price of bread was reduced would be
13/100 × b = 0.13 × b = 0.13b
The new price for the loaf of bread would be
b - 0.13b
you decide to purchase 6 loaves of bread. The expression would be
6(b - 0.13b)
Expanding the expression, it becomes
6b - 0.78b
