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
1199.3 (I'm assuming you mean round to the nearest tenth)
Answer:
5 / 28
Step-by-step explanation:
5/7 ÷ 20/5
= 5/7 x 5/20
= (5 x 5) / (7 x 20)
= 25 / 140 (divide numerator and denominator by 5)
= 5 / 28
