Answer:
in my view there is not enough info*
First, let’s all acknowledge that whoever comes up with problems like this WANTS kids to hate math...smh
I’m sure there is a prettier way to solve this, but here’s what I did:
8(2.25) + 3(22.50) =
18 + 67.50 = 85.50 per “set” of balls/jerseys
400/85.50 = 4.678 = number of “sets” he can buy. Round down to 4 so we have room for tax.
85.5 x 4 “sets”= $342
Tax on 342 is 0.06 x 342 = 20.52
$342 + 20.52 = $362.52 spent
Basketballs = 4 sets x 8 balls per set= 32
Jerseys = 4 sets x 3 jerseys per set= 12
32 basketballs, 12 jerseys, $362.52 spent
I see two ways to do it.
First, you have to understand that when you see a 'complex fraction' like this, the top number is a numerator, and the two bottom numbers are both denominators.
Way-1:
Take the top fraction . . . 2/2 . That's equal to 1 . So the whole thing is <em>1/3</em>.
Way-2:
Multiply the bottom two denominators. Then the whole thing is 2/(2·3) . That's the same thing as 2/6 . Simplify that, and you have <em>1/3</em> .
ANSWER: x > -6
1. subtract 12 from each side
2. divide by -3 which will make the sign flip
