Let me explain like this .Suppose There are 40 people gathered somewhere for attending an event.Each Person has to be given 2 sweets for their arrival or for showing their presence in the event. Now 40 other woman joined them..Instead of getting two sweets each of them got one sweet.
Solution: 2 sweets × 40 people = 1 sweet × 80 people = 80
2nd Way:
There are 40 rooms in a building.In Each room we have to fix two bulbs. So How many bulbs are there in the building.
Solution →→→2 bulbs × 40 room = 80 bulbs
Diagram is depicted below for two parts.
Because <span>−8</span><span> does not contain the </span>variable<span> to solve for move it to the other side of the </span>equation<span> by adding </span>8<span> to both sides.
</span><span>5x=8+37
</span>Add 8<span> and </span>37<span> to get </span><span>45.
</span><span>5x=45
</span>Divide<span> each </span>term<span> by 5.
</span>x=<span>9

x is equal to 9
Answer:
Let x = total number of apples picked by the prince
x=44
Step-by-step explanation:
1st troll payment
x-(0.5x+2)
x-0.5x-2
0.5x-2 (that is the amount of apples left after 1st troll payment)
2nd troll payment
(0.5x-2)-(0.5(0.5x-2)+2)
Simplifying,
(0.5x-2)-(0.25x-1+2)
(0.5x-2)-(0.25x+1)
0.5x-2-0.25x-1
0.25x-3 (apples remaining after 2nd troll payment)
3rd troll payment
(0.25x-3)-(0.5(0.25x-3)+2)=2
(0.25x-3)-(0.125x-1.5+2)=2
(0.25x-3)-(0.125x+0.5)=2
0.25x-3- 0.125x-0.5=2
0.125x-3.5=2
0.125x =2+3.5
0.125x=5.5
x=5.5/0.125 (divide both sides by 0.125)
=44 apples
Therefore total number of apples picked by the prince, x=44
Their total expenses are ...
.. $1.50 +3.00 +1.25 = $5.75
Their profit is the difference between their charge and their cost:
.. $25.00 -5.75 = $19.25
The correct choice is ...
B) $19.25
1.532 rounded to nearest tenth is 1.5
