Answer: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be a and b.

Therefore,

a - b = 3 ....... i

a + b = 13 ....... ii

From equation I, a = 3 + b

Put a = 3+b into equation ii

a + b = 13

3 + b + b = 13

3 + 2b = 13

2b = 13 - 3

2b = 10

b = 10/2

b = 5

Since a = 3 + b

a = 3 + 5

a = 8

The product of the numbers will be:

= 8 × 5

= 40

$\bf a^{\frac{{ n}}{{ m}}} \implies \sqrt[{ m}]{a^{ n}} \qquad \qquad
\sqrt[{ m}]{a^{ n}}\implies a^{\frac{{ n}}{{ m}}}

% radical denominator
\cfrac{1}{\sqrt[{ m}]{a^{ n}}}= \cfrac{1}{a^{\frac{{ n}}{{ m}}}}\implies a^{-\frac{{ n}}{{ m}}} \\\\

5. Bobby guessed there were 92 jelly beans in a jar. There were actually 107 2 points

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer: 14%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Bobby guessed there were 92 jelly beans in a jar when there were actually 107. The percentage error will be:

= Difference in error / Actual value × 100

= (107 - 92) / 107 × 100

= 15/107 × 100

= 0.14 × 100

= 14%

Answer:

First, you add 30 and 20, and you get 50. Then, since 30 is your highest priced item, you find 0.30 of 30, which is 9. After that you would subtract 9 from 30, which gives you 21. Therefore, we know the price is 41
