It is 208.85 because when you have .8 + .05 =.85
Answer: 2 / 5x
Explanation:
Answer: Option #4: the 0.2 could be changed to 2.
Explanation:
The table is designed to make the concept of percentages more understandable. The table first allocates the total amount of 70 in terms of its "fifths," or 20% parts. Then it expresses these parts in the last row of the table, showing that 20% of 70 is 14 and all the five parts sum up to 70 again.
Now, Mikel is supposed to express 40% of the amount. So she writes (incorrectly): 0.2 * 14. This statement needs to be changed to 2 * 14 (two times 14 = 28), to correspond to 2 times 20%, or 40% of 70.
This is reflected in the last (fourth) option "The 0.2 in the expression could be changed to 2."
Option #3 is incorrect because changing 14 to 70, will result in an incorrect number (2.8).
Options 1 and 2 are similarly incorrect (as can be easily verified)
Let's come up with variables to substitute and make an equation.
T = total number of minutes
P = number of minutes used by each person in the phone plan
R = remaining minutes per month
R=T-3P
Now that we have an equation, we can substitute the numbers we are given in the problem to find the final solution.
R= 675- 3(250)
R= 675- 750
R= -75 minutes
There are no remaining minutes, and in fact, the people on the phone plan have used 75 extra minutes than provided for in their phone plan.
