Answer:
0.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the number in the tenth place
3
and look one place to the right for the rounding digit
1
. Round up if this number is greater than or equal to
5
and round down if it is less than
5
.
0.3
Simplifying
x + 0.7 = 1 + -0.2x
Reorder the terms:
0.7 + x = 1 + -0.2x
Solving
0.7 + x = 1 + -0.2x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '0.2x' to each side of the equation.
0.7 + x + 0.2x = 1 + -0.2x + 0.2x
Combine like terms: x + 0.2x = 1.2x
0.7 + 1.2x = 1 + -0.2x + 0.2x
Combine like terms: -0.2x + 0.2x = 0.0
0.7 + 1.2x = 1 + 0.0
0.7 + 1.2x = 1
Add '-0.7' to each side of the equation.
0.7 + -0.7 + 1.2x = 1 + -0.7
Combine like terms: 0.7 + -0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.2x = 1 + -0.7
1.2x = 1 + -0.7
Combine like terms: 1 + -0.7 = 0.3
1.2x = 0.3
Divide each side by '1.2'.
x = 0.25
Simplifying
x = 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The price of one pound of bell peppers is $0.6.
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem is equivalent to the following:
<em>"if 10 oranges cost $20, how much does 1 orange cost? "</em>
and the answer to that question is:
price of 1 orange = $20/ 10 oranges = $2 per orange.
Put simply, we divided the total price by the total number of items, and we shall do the same thing for the case of bell peppers:
price of 1 pound = $1.25/ 2.5 pounds = $0.5/ pound.
The price for 1 pound of bell peppers is $0.5.
