Mathematics

Answer:

2 * 10^-3 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of staples per box = 6 * 10^3

Weight of staple box = 12 oz

Weight per staple = (weight of staple box / number of staples per box)

Weight per staple = 12 / 6 * 10^3

Weight per staple = 12 / 6 * 1000

= 12 / 6000

= 0.002 oz

= 2 * 10^-3 oz

Liliana solved the equation below. When she tried to verify her answer, she realized she made an error.
leva [86]

Answer:

Step 3 of substracting 6 from both sides.    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

We are given the equation:

\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}(x + 18) = 7

Multiplying the constant term we get,

\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}x + 6 = 7

Subtracting 6 from both the sides we get,

\displaystyle\frac{1}{3}x + 6-6 = 7-6\\\\\frac{1}{3}x = 1\\\\x = 3

Liliana made a mistake in the step of subtracting 6 from both sides. She subtracted 6 from the left side bu added 6 on the right side instead of subtracting from the right side.

At a sale this week, a desk is being sold for $336. This is a 36% discount from the original price.
8090 [49]

Answer:

$525

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the original price by using the formula x - 0.36x = 336, where x is the original price, 0.36 is the discount percentage (converted to decimal form), and 336 is the total amount paid after the discount is applied:

x-0.36x=336\\0.64x=336\\x=525

To check and further understand why the formula works, we can simply apply the discount to the original price and subtract the number from the original price:

525 * 0.36 = 189

525 - 189 = 336

Modeling the first formula gives us:

525 - (0.36 * 525) = 336

525 - 189 = 336
