Answer:

3/4 times 18= 13.5

31.5-13.5=18  

It cost 18 dollars for the skirt with a discount.

It cost 13.5 for the blouse as opposed to the original price of 18 dollars.

18(skirt)+13.5(blouse)=31.5

If you set up a proportion to find the original price of the skirt you will get the answer.  

18/x=75/100

75x=18 times 100

75x=1800

75x/75=1800/75

x=24  

The original price of the skirt is 24 dollars.

MRS.Bonnette's recipe for banana bread calls for 3 and one fourths cups of sugar. She wants to make 6.5 batches so that she has
densk [106]

Answer:

21/ \frac {1}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we're given that a batch requires 3 and one fourths cups of sugar, this is written as

3/ \frac {1}{4}

If she wants 6.5 batches then we just cross multiply

1 batch=3/ \frac {1}{4}

6.5 batches=x

X=6.5\times 3/ \frac {1}{4}

X=6/ \frac {1}{2}\times 3/ \frac {1}{4}

X=\frac {13}{2}\times \frac {13}{4}

X=\frac {169}{8}

X=21/ \frac {1}{8}

gavmur [86]

Answer:

2\frac{4}{5}\ \ or \ 2.8 \ \ cups

Step-by-step explanation:

-The total portion fed to the dog is 7/10 cup

  • Canned-3/10
  • Dry=7/10-3/10=4/10

-One week has 7 days. we multiply the dry portion per day by the number of days in a week.

Dry= Total -Canned\\\\=\frac{7}{10}-\frac{3}{10}\\\\=0.40 \ cup\\\\Dry \ per \ Week= Dry/ day\times days\\\\=0.40\times 7\\\\=2\frac{4}{5}\  or\  2.8 \ cups

Hence, Erin feed her dog 2 4/5 0r 2.8 cups of dry food
