One company wants $10 per 3.5 hours, so they want 10 / 3.5 ≈ 2,86 dollars per hour (after rounding to the closest hundreths).
Second company wants $1.25 per half an hour, so they want 2 * 1,25 = 2,50 dollars per hour.
The unit rate is 2,86:2,50
Subtract 10 and collect terms to get the variable term by itself on the left.
... 4c = 24
Divide by the coefficient of the variable, 4.
... c = 6
The appropriate choice is the second one:
... 6
_____
You don't actually have to sove the equation to find the right answer. You just need to see which answer works.
-6: 5(-6) -(-6) +10 = -14 ≠ 34
6: 5(6) -(6) +10 = 34 . . . . . . . this answer works (you can stop here)
11: 5(11) -(11) +10 = 54 ≠ 34
-11: 5(-11) -(-11) +10 = -34 ≠ 34
Convert percentages to units.
100% - 20% = 80% = 0.8
100% - 25% = 75% = 0.75
Then multiply those together:
0.8*0.75=0.6=60%
100% - 60% = 40%. That's the overall price percentage reduction.
P.S. You can convert percentages to units by diving % by 100 for example 100% divided by 100 is equal to 1.
And vice versa aka multiply units by 100 and you get %, for example 0.8 times 100 is 80%
<span>The ratio of boys to girls is 12 to 16, 12:16 or 12/16 </span>
Answer:
Covered: $3712
Still need to pay: $928
Step-by-step explanation:
4/5 --> 0.8 --> 80%
4640 x 0.8 --> 3712
Covered: $3712 (which is 80%)
Still need to pay: $928 (which is 20%)
