In august the simons water bill was $48.in September it was 15% lower . What was the simons water bill in September
slega [8]
Water bill of Simons in the month of August = $48
Percentage of bill that was lower in the month of September = 15%
then
Amount of bill that was lower in the month of September = (15/100) * 48
                                                                                           = 720/100 dollars
                                                                                           = 7.2 dollars
So
The bill for the month of September = (48 - 7.2) dollars
                                                          = 40.8 dollars
So Simon will have to pay $40.8 as the water bill for the month of September. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

Tony separates a number of paintbrushes, x, into 3 equally sized groups. He claims that this is the same as making a group 1/3 t
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Size of each group = \frac{x}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of paint brushes = x

Since each the three groups are equally sized, to get the number of paintbrushes in a group, we will have to divide the total number of paint brushes by 3

∴ We have, number of paint brushes in a group = \frac{Total number of paintbrushes}{3}\\

= \frac{x}{3}

this is also the same thing as saying \frac{1}{3}×\frac{x}{1}

This shows that the size of the new group is the same as \frac{1}{3} the size of the original group
