Answer:

Her error was multiplying numerator by numerator ( that is Quantity of Bone-shaped treats)

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarah's calculation

Let

x = cost of 12 Bone-shaped treats

Quantity of Bone-shaped treats : price

5 : 3.5 = 12 : x

(5/3.5) = (12/x)

Cross product

3.5x=60 (Here is her error)

x=17.14

Correct calculation

Quantity of Bone-shaped treats : price

5 : 3.5 = 12 : x

5 / 3.5 = 12 / x

Cross product

5 * x = 3.5 * 12

5x = 42

x = 42 / 5

= 8.4

x = $8.4

Her error was multiplying numerator by numerator ( that is Quantity of Bone-shaped treats)

Instead of multiplying Quantity of Bone-shaped treats by cost

Answer:

Sarah multiplied the denominator by the denominator and the numerator by the numerator instead of finding the cross products. The equation should be 5x = 42, so the cost should be $8.40.

Answer:

600 = 10 x 60

Step-by-step explanation:

If you do 10 x 60 or 60 x 10 it'll equal 600, that's what the questons is looking for so the way it'd be written is:

6 hundreds is 10 times as much as 600.

600 = 10 x 60

Hopefully this helps! I hope you and your sister have a blessed day!

(10 points) Joe’s parents bought him a new car for his birthday. They paid $6990 for a car that was originally priced at $7599.
Andru [333]

Answer:

91.99%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find what percentage of $7599 is $6990, we simply need to divide $7599 by $6990 and multiply by 100:

6990 / 7599 * 100 = 91.99%

Therefore, they paid 91.99% of the original price.

85 = 3 dots because there are 3 students that got a 80 %

90 = 4 dots because there are 4 students that got a 90 %

95 = 3 dots

100+ = 0 dots

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

\large\boxed{(f+g)(x)=5x^2+6}

Step-by-step explanation:

(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)\\\\f(x)=4x^2+1,\ g(x)=x^2-5\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\(f+g)(x)=(4x^2+1)+(x^2-5)\\\\=4x^2+1+x^2-5\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\=(4x^2+x^2)+(1+5)\\\\=5x^2+6
