Answer: It took 18 Months for Michelle to collect 59 dolls.
Explanation:
First, let’s right an equation for this. Michelle started with 5 dolls in a bar collection (I have no clue what that is but i’ll roll with it), and each month she bought 3 more, so 5 dolls plus the 3 dolls per month equals 59 at some point.
5 dolls + 3 dolls per month = 59 dolls
OR
5 + 3m = 59
The point of this question is to find how many months (m) it took in order to get to 59 dolls and there’s multiple ways you can do this:
1) just plug in random numbers into m to see how long it takes to get to 59 [this option might take a while]
2) Try to isolate m (get every number out of the equation) to find out the value of m. [I’m most familiar with this way]
First, subtract 5 from 5 in the equation in order to get rid of it, since we’re trying to get all whole numbers out of the equation and only have m left. You subtract 5 from 59 since the equal sign is kind of like a mirrror, whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other. So, 5-5 is 0, and 59- is 54.
Now you’re left with 3m=54. In order to isolate the m, divide 3 by 3 to get rid of the 3, then divide 54 by 3, which is 18.
In order to check your work, plug 18 into m just to see if it works or not:
5+3m=59 —-> 5+ 3(18)= 59
3 times 18 is 54, plus 5 is 59. So, Mi hells took 18 months to collect her 59 dolls. Hope this helped!
After moving all the terms to the right of the equation and solving you would get A = -36/49. Hope this helps!
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
8% is also 8/100. This would be true for all percents 0 to 100%. If it were 42% it can be written as 42/100.
So, 8% is 8/100. If you want to find 8/100 of 50 multiply them.
8/100 * 50/1 = (8*50) /100
400/100 = 4
No, this is not true, 22+32 =54 this is not a true statement
Answer:
8750
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the random sample contained 125 out of 500 people who voted for the dog park that is about 25%. since 25% of 500 is 125. If we scale that up to 25% of 3500 it would be 8750 people.
