Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
If a toy that costs $2.99 is at a 30% discount then you first need to make 30% a decimal.
30% = .3
Now multiply $2.99 by .3 to find the discount which is .897
Since .897 has a thousandths place we need to round that which would make it 90 cents.
Now we know there is a 90 cent discount on a $2.99 toy.
take $2.99 - 90 cents = $2.09
The toy costs $2.09 after a 30% discount
57 children tickets were sold on Saturday.
You could set this up as a system of equations.
x + y = 155
6.00x + 9.90y = 1312.20
First step is multiplying the first equation by -6 to use the elimination method.
-6.00x + -6.00y = -930
6.00x + 9.90y = 1312.20
The positive and negative 6x cancel out until you are only left with the y.
Combining them would make your equation...
3.9y = 382.2
Next you would divide by 3.9 on both sides to get the y by itself.
The result of that would be y = 98. Which means 98 adult tickets were sold. Then you would plug y into either of the equations to solve for x.
Answer:
2323
Step-by-step explanation:
Mental math means to find a way to do this problem in your head without using paper, pencil or a calculator.
The question says there are 23 classes and each class is to collect 101 items.
The equation would be 23 x 101.
To do this in your head real quick, make the numbers easier to multiply.
Make the 101 items 100. That means you are telling each class to collect 1 less item or 23 less items total.
You can do this in your head real quick. 23 classes collecting 100 items is 2300 items.
You had each class collect 100 items instead of 101. That mean you didn't collect 23 items. So if you add those back in, you will get
2323 items.
