I think the answer is 52% because I got it correct on i-Ready. I really hope this helps because I hate that when you fail you have to redo a lesson.
Have a great day and let me know if this is the right answer.
When you calculate 2x-3=2x-5 it’s going to lead as -3=-5, therefore this statement is inaccurate and doesn’t have a value of x, it doesn’t even have a solution.
Answer:
4/8 or
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
if there are 8 students and 4 of them study Chemistry then we take those 4 out of the equation then there are 4 left and there are now 4 possibly choses
This sets up as a very commonly used proportion.
90 oz / 18.95 = 1 oz / x Cross multiply
90 x = 18.95 Divide by 90
x = 18.95 / 90
x = 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
So each ounce of shampoo costs 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
This is a very handy way to check best deals. Stores have trained us for years to believe that the more we buy of a brand, the better the price. It isn't always true. Sometimes buying the smaller quantity is the better deal. There is only one way to be sure and that's to do a proportion like this one.
Try this is an example. The same company makes a smaller container of shampoo of 45 oz for 9.15. How much is 1 oz and which is the better deal? You should get 0.20333 dollars so this is marginally (just) the better deal.
