Answer:
$0.76
Step-by-step explanation:
3.79+2.57+5.8=12.16
12.16 x 0.0625=0.76
To solve this, you have to add all the prices together and then convert the percentage into a number so that you can multiply it by the total sales. You end up with 0.76 cents as the taxes for Akio's Purchase.You convert the percentage by moving it backward 2 decimal places.
So,
I like to simplify a fraction first. This is what I do when I'm in a store trying to find the unit price.
Factor.
Cross out ones.
Multiply it out.
In my head, I remember that one-eighth is equal to 0.125.
So seven-eighths is equal to 0.125 times 7.
0.125 * 7 = 0.875
Convert to percent form.
0.875 --> 87.5%
James answered 87.5% of his quiz correctly.
I actually have the decimal equivalents for eighths in my head when I'm shopping. So once I get seven-eighths, I immediately know how much that is. I can also subtract 0.125 from 1.000 to get seven-eighths.
Jesse got that as an answer because he only multiples 2X to 2 and not to 8.
Janie receives an allowance of $3 per week.
In addition, she can earn $2 for each chore she does.
This week, she wants to earn enough money to buy a CD for $13.
Janie can do fractions of chores.
Write an inequality to determine the number of chores Janie must do this week to earn enough money to buy a CD.
13 <= 2c + 3 is the inequality.
Hope this helps!
