Step-by-step explanation:
The horse eats 9/12 in 9 days.
You have to find 80% of 20.
Since 80% is equal to 0.8, you multiply 20 by 0.8 to get 16
Answer:
a)1400 + 300x ≤ 5000
b) x ≤ 12 days
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Since the grocery store owner wants to stay within budget then, this means he would be spending at most $5,000
The word at most is represented by the inequality sign ≤ = Less than or equal to
Let x = Number of days
Hence,
Our inequality equation is
$1400 + 300× x ≤ $5000
1400 + 300x ≤ 5000
b) Solving for x
1400 + 300x ≤ 5000
300x ≤ 5000 - 1400
300x ≤ 3600
x ≤ 3600/300
x ≤ 12 days
Full question:
In a basketball game, Elena scores twice as many points as Tyler. Tyler scores four points fewer than Noah, and Noah scores three times as many points as Mai. If Mai scores 5 points, how many points did Elena score? Explain your reasoning
Answer and explanation:
We start from known to unknown. We know that Mai scored 5 points and so we work from here.
Since Mai scored 5 points and Noah scored three times as many points then Noah's score = 3×5= 15 points
Since Tyler scored four points less than Noah, Noah's score= 15-4= 11 points
Finally Elena's score is twice that of Tyler hence Elena's score =2×11= 22 points
