It cost $156.40 because 20% of 195.50 is $39.10 so you subtract that from the 195.50.
Answer:
B. 80 cm of chain weighs 2 kg.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to choose the correct answer, we need to define the comparative relation between the length and weight of the chain. We will do this by performing the simple operation of division.
It is easier to divide the larger number by the smaller and that is what we will show here (although <em>you can do as you wish and still get the same result</em> - it's math!):
320 ÷ 8 = 40
The result we got is 40. This means that <u>the length of the chain is equal to the value of forty of its weights!</u> And this will be the operation we will perform in order to determine the right answer:
A) Does 2 (kg) multiplied by 40 equal 40 (cm)? No, therefore, it is incorrect.
B) Does 2 (kg) multiplied by 40 equal 80 (cm)? <u>Yes, this answer is correct!</u>
Just in case, we will perform this action with the rest of the possible choices:
C) 4 kg × 40 = 160 and NOT 80 cm.
D) 2 kg × 40 = 80 and NOT 160 cm.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x + 4) - 5 = 2x + 4
solve for x
x = -3
Answer:
It takes 26 2/3 gallons to make a 400 mile trip.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is simply asking for the number of miles per gallon . In math, <em>per</em> means this is meant to be written as a fraction.
"If a trip of 270 miles required 18 gallons of gas" is actually saying "270 miles per 18 gallons." This can be written as a fraction like so: 270/18.
If we're looking for the amount of gas used for a 400 mile trip, we have the fraction: 400/g, g being the amount of gallons it took to make that trip.
Now we can set up the proportion: 
Cross multiply and solve accordingly.
400
/g
So the answer is:
It takes 26 2/3 gallons to make a 400 mile trip.
