Answer:
The number is -20.
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is the number, then 3(x+4)=2x-8.
3x+12=2x-8
x=-20
25*8.14=?
Multiply the cost of the book per person ($8.14) by the number of people (25).
Given that we Jenny wants to equivalent fraction of 45% then convert into reduced fraction and then convert into decimal equivalent.
She has already shown her work. We just need to find the error if any.
to convert any percent value we just divide that number by 100 because percent itself means divide by 100.
Hence first step 45%=45/100 is correct.
Then she needed to convert into reduced fraction. To do that she divided numerator and denominator both by 5 and got 9/20.
step 2 is also correct.
Now she needs to convert into decimal equivalent so she divided 9 by 20 and got 4.5 while the correct answer should be 0.45
Hence she did error when converting fraction form into decimal form.
