1/2 is the proper fraction.
Answer: See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
I think your question isn't well written and that 234 was meant to be 2.34 and 112 was meant to be 1.12
Let the amount spent on tomatoes be x.
The information given in the question can then be used to form an equation as thus:
Apples + Peaches + Tomatoes = $9.63
(2.34 × $1.32) + (1.12 × $1.20) + x = $9.63
$3.0888 + $1.344 + x = $9.63
x = $9.63 - ($3.0888 + $1.344)
x = $9.63 - $4.4328
x = $5.1972
The amount spent on tomatoes will be $5.1972
Is it 29? i’m not totally sure
wouldn't you multiply all three?
<h3>Answer:</h3>
y = 0.1x +1500
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
You need an equation that will give Gary a salary of $1500 even if he makes no sales (x=0). The only possible choice for the second item is then ...
... +1500
You are expected to know that Gary's commission of 10% of sales is computed by multiplying sales (x) by 10%. That is, if Gary sells $100 worth of items, his commission is ...
... 10% × $100 = $10
That is, the multiplier is 0.1.
Gary's salary (y) is then computed as
... y = 0.1x +1500

<em>Comment on percentages</em>
The % symbol is a shorthand way to write /100. That is, 10% = 10/100, ten hundredths, or 0.10. (You might notice here that "percent" and "hundredths" can be used interchangeably.)
