Answer:

so the price for 1 mug was $7.39

Step-by-step explanation:

initial price will be  P

Then the lower price is

x - 1.75

If 5 mugs cost $28.20 then we have to write an equation in order to find the price for 1 mug.

(P - 1.75)*5 = 28.20

P - 1.75 = 28.20/5

P - 1.75 = 5.64

P = 1.75 + 5.64

P = 7.39

Initial price for 1 mug was $7.39

Hope that helps... :)

Answer:

  • $7.39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial price be x

<u>Then the reduced price is </u>

  • x - 1.75

<u>If 5 mugs cost $28.20, we have equation:</u>

  • (x - 1.75)*5 = 28.20
  • x - 1.75 = 28.20/5
  • x - 1.75 = 5.64
  • x = 1.75 + 5.64
  • x = 7.39

Initial price for 1 mug was $7.39

Miguel spent a total of $60 at the grocery store. Of this amount , he spent $18 on fruit. What percentage of the total did he sp
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

A percent can be found by dividing the part by the whole, or

part/whole

In this case, the part is the amount he spent on fruit. The whole is the total amount he spent.

amount spent on fruit/ total amount spent

He spent $18 on fruit, and $60 in total.

$18/ $60

Divide 18 by 60

18/60

0.3

Convert 0.3 to a decimal by multiplying by 100 or moving the deicaml place two spots to the right.

0.3*100=30

0.3--> 3.0 --> 30

30%

He spent 30% on fruit.
