Answer:
The total cost of the petrol is 2.075 cents.
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost of per gallon petrol = 0.83
Drive per gallon = 8 miles
Here, total distance traveled = 20 miles.
So, the total petrol used for 20 miles = (20 / 8) gallons
= 2.5 gallons
Now, cost of petrol per gallon = 0.83 cents
So, total cost of petrol = 0.83 x 2.5 = 2.075 cents
Hence, the total cost of the petrol is 2.075 cents.
8/10 is close to 1(8/10 = 0.8 and 5 and up you round up)
4/9 is close to 0 (4/9 = 0.44 and 4 and down you round down!)
8(x-3)=8x-24
8x-24=8x-24
8x=8x
x=x
Since x just has to equal itself and not a specific number, there are C, infinitely many solutions to this equation.
This can be written as 3(n+12)=45, where n is the unknown number
3(n+12)=45 <- Starting Equation
3n+36=45 <- Distributive Property
3n=9 <- Cancel 36 on both sides
n=3 <- Divide both sides by 3
So n=3
Hope this helped!
