Just compare the change in unit cost to the original unit cost.
Shovels: (70.38 ÷ 2 - (172.50/5) ÷ (172.50/5) = 0.02
Salt: (26.04 ÷ 4 - (6.20) <span>÷ </span>6.20 = 0.05
So, the shovels went up 2% and the salt went up 5%
Answer:
14x^(2)/15) / 7x
= (14x^(2)/15) * (1/7x)
= 14x^(2)/15*7x
= 14x^(2)/105x
= 2x/15 (Divide both the numerator and denominator by 7x)
Therefor, each person would receive 2x/15 dollars.
you have to convert meters to centi-meters first;
800m = 80000 cm & 154m = 15400 cm
Now, Substitute that in your original equation;
80035 cm - 15449
64586 cm
-6 because you take 10 away from 4 going into the negatives
