Answer:
4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
For this, we can set up an equation
We can name the total number of hours x.
So the price for Shawns rentals would be as follows:
27.50x
and Darlas surf shop would be:
23.25x+17
Now, we put these into an equation.
We are trying to find for what number of x will the charges be equal, so we can make this equation:
27.50x=23.25x+17
Now we get the variables on one side, and the numerical values on the other.
We can do this by subtracting 23.25x from both sides. (What you do to one side you must do to the other to keep the equation equal.)
4.25x=17
Divide both sides by 4.25.
x=4
You would rent the equipment for 4 hours to make the charges equal.
35 is your answer (I did it on a triangle calculator)
Divide the sale price by the original price:
56 / 89 = 0.7
Multiply by 100:
0.7 x 100 = 70%
The sale price is 70% of the original price, so the discount would be 30% (100-70= 30)
Answer:
(B) 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let small puppet be represented by-----------------s
Let large puppet be represented by-----------------l
Total number of puppets expression will be: s+l =25---------a
The expression for total costs will be : 1$ s + $2l=$30-------b
Equation a can be written as; s= 25-l ------------c
Use equation c in equation b as
$1( 25-l )+$ 2l = $30
25-l + 2l = 30
25+l =30
l= 30-25 =5
l, large puppets = 5
s, small puppets = 25-5 = 20
Answer choice A is incorrect because 25 is the total number of all puppets
Answer choice C and D are incorrect because the numbers are less that that of small puppets.
Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
all 4 numbers added up, 68, divide by the amount of numbers, which is 4, and you get the answer
