alana and petra go to a used book sale, where every book is the same price. Alana buys 5 books and Petra buys 4 books. They run

into their friend Angus, who really loves to read, and discover that he has bought 19 books. Angus received a $10 discount, but he still spent $5 more than Alana and Petra combined. How much does one book cost?

After understanding the problem, formulate equations to determine the unknown. Let x be the price of one book. Equating Alana&Petra's expense with Angus' would be

5x + 4x +5 = 19x - 10

The 5 in the left side is needed because Angus' expense is $5 more. Also, the 10 on the right side represents the $10 discount. Solving the equation,

19x = 9x = 5+10
10x = 15
x = $1.5

Therefore, the book costs $1.5.

What is 20% of 180<br>please i realy need to answer this​
blagie [28]

Answer:

36

20 percent * 180 =

(20:100)* 180 =

(20* 180):100 =

3600:100 = 36

Now we have: 20 percent of 180 = 36

Question: What is 20 percent of 180?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: Our output value is 180.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1 above,$180=100\%$.

Step 4: Similarly, $x=20\%$.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

$180=100\%(1)$.

$x=20\%(2)$.

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{180}{x}=\frac{100\%}{20\%}$

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope it is helpful.....
