I think it is D. Sorry if im wrong

Answer:

The answer is D. Jessica saves twice as much money as Marcus.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you convert 1/4 (Marcus's savings) to a percentage, we get 25%

(multiply 1/4 by 25 to get the fraction 25/100, therefore making it equivalent to 25%)

so now we have Marcus's savings, 25%, and Jessica's savings, 50%.

Marcus obviously did not save more money than Jessica, so we can cross out answer choices A. and C.

Answer choice B. is not correct because 4/5 is equal to 80%, and Jessica did not save 80% as much money as Marcus.

So therefore, the answer is D. we know this because 25 (Marcus's savings) multiplied by 25 is 50, which is Jessica's savings, so this means Jessica saved twice as much money as Marcus.

i know the answer is correct, but sorry if i got anything wrong in my step-by-step explanation. (also ik this is old but i guess this is for people who are doing it now.)

Which of the following equations has infinitely many solutions?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at A and you subtract 3x by 4x you get x and you subtract 3 from -7 and you get -10. But if you look at B you do the stuff in the parentheses first and you get 4x+12x+28=16x+28 and they're the same so it's B.
