notice, that, pure juice is 100% juice, dohhh, thus 100/100 = 1.00
50% is 50/100 or 0.50 in decimal format
so..... whatever those two quantities amount to, that is, the 50% and pure juice, or (4)(0.50) + (x)(1.00)
they will equal the mixture desired 60% juice, or 0.60, namely (4+x)(0.60)
thus (4)(0.50) + (x)(1.00) = (4+x)(0.60)
solve for "x"
Answer:
-$36
Step-by-step explanation:
Daniel has a starting balance of $259, so anything he spends will be deducted by this amount. To find out how much he spent, we need to add up everything he bought.
He spent $45 + $150 + $100, adding to a grad total of $295.
To find out how much money Daniel has left, we need to subtract his purchases from his funds. This would be $259 - $295. This leaves you with a final answer of -$36 in Daniel's bank account.
if Joyce saved $70
at 75% off, Joyce saved 25%
so, $70 is 25%
To find the total price which is 100%, multiply $70 by 4 ( because 25% x 4 = 100% )
so the original price is $70 x 4 = $280
The right answer is 6x + 5
