Answer:
the correct answer is 33.33%
Answer:
0.01
Step-by-step explanation:
you just have to do the opposite. Since the is n*-5/8 you want to use inverse operation and do -0.4 divided by -5/8 when you do that you end up with 0.01. So the value of n is 0.01
Answer:
Jelly beans: $6 for 1 kg
Gummy worms: $7 for 1 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we need to find the cost of 1kg of jelly beans and gummy worms.
To do this, make equations for both scenarios and solve:
2j + 2g = 26
2j + 3g = 33
Turn the bottom equation negative, as we will first solve for gummy worms (g).
2j + 2g = 26
-2j - 3g = -33
Solve:
-g = -7
Divide both sides by -1.
g = 7
We now know that gummy worms cost $7 for 1 kg
To solve for jellybeans (j), plug in 7 to g in one of the equations and solve:
2j + 2(7) = 26
2j + 14 = 26
Subtract 14 from both sides.
2j = 12
Divide both sides by 2.
j = 6
Jellybeans cost $6 for 1 kg.
Check answer by plugging in values to one of the equations:
2(6) + 2(7) = 26
12 + 14 = 26
26 = 26
(-5/8)(X) = -0.4
(-5/8)(X) = -4/10
X = (-4/10) / (-5/8)
X = (4/10) / (5/8)
X = (4/10)(8/5)
X = (2/5)(8/5)
X = 16/25
