1/2 + 3/x = 3/4
multiply everything by x
1/2x + 3 = 3/4x...subtract 1/2x from both sides
3 = 3/4x - 1/2x
3 = 3/4x - 2/4x
3 = 1/4x...multiply both sides by 4
4 * 3 = x
12 = x

Answer:
1. 10% of the bill is $138. The final bill once 10% is taken off is $1242.
2. 20% of the total is $34.10. The final total once the 20% is taken off is $136.4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. A crash repair bill comes to $1380.00. How much is 10% of the bill? What is the final bill once 10% is taken off?
To find how much is 10% of the bill, we multiply the bill by 0.1
0.1*1380 = 138
10% of the bill is $138.
To find the final bill, we subtract the initial bill by 10%.
1380 - 138 = 1242
The final bill once 10% is taken off is $1242.
2. A person buys a new fan belt, a new alternator, and a new water pump for their car. The total comes to $170.50. What is 20% of the total? How much is the final total once the 20% is taken off?
Same logic as above.
0.2*170.50 = 34.1
20% of the total is $34.10.
170.50 - 34.1 = 136.4
The final total once the 20% is taken off is $136.4
Deprecated means the price is decreased, so if something is deprecated by 50% (which just means 1/2 is taken away) its original price is just cut in half. so half of 1200 (1200 divided by 2) is 600. i think the answer is 600 :-)
Answer: the maximum number of bundles of comic books that the box can carry is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the maximum number of bundles of comic books that the box can carry.
If comic books are bundled together in groups of 8, then the total number of comic books in x bundles of comic books would be 8x.
A box can hold a maximum of 60 comic books. Therefore, the inequality to find the maximum number of bundles of comic books that the box can carry is
8x ≤ 60
x ≤ 60/8
x ≤ 7.5
