1/2 would be rounded to 1 and 4/6 would be rounded to 1
The nephew would need to use division to isolate x giving him $66.50 to spend
The price of the turkey based on the percentage given is $15.81.
<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>
It was stated that the cost is $15.50 but that there was a 2% increment in price.
Therefore, the new price will be:
= $15.50 + (2% × $15.50)
= $15.50 + $0.31
= $15.81

Answer:
x = 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
5x - 2(x + 1) = 1/4
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- <u>Distribute -2:</u> 5x - 2x - 2 = 1/4
- <u>Combine like terms:</u> 3x - 2 = 1/4
- <u>Add 2 to both sides:</u> 3x = 9/4
- <u>Divide both sides by 3:</u> x = 3/4
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
5(3/4) - 2(3/4 + 1) = 1/4
15/4 - 2(7/4) = 1/4
15/4 - 14/4 = 1/4
1/4 = 1/4
