6 - (-2) - 3(-5) = (6 + 2) + 15 = 8 + 15 = 23
Your answer is D. the last one :)
If the value of the baseball card increases by 3% per year then we can say that each year the value of the card may be multiplied by 103% = 1.03, thus:
Value after n years = original price*(1.03)^n
Value after 15 years = 75*(1.03)^15
= $116.85
The correct answer is A. 1.5 cups
Explanation:
The total of polishing wooden furniture is equivalent to the total of olive oil plus the total of lemon juice. Additionally, in this case, the result should be given in cups. First, let's consider the values given.
50% of a cup of lemon juice + 25% of a quart with olive oil
The first quantity 50% of a cup of lemon indicates half cup of lemon was added, which is equivalent to 0.5 cups as 1 cup = 100% of a cup and 50% is the half.
Now, the second quantity is provided in quarts, which is not the same as a cup. Indeed 1 quart is equivalent to 4 cups, which represents 100%. This means 100% = 4 cups. Now, to calculate the 25% follow this procedure.
1. Write the values
4 = 100 (total percentage)
x = 25 (percentage to be calculated
2. Solve this by using cross multiplication
x100 = 4 × 25
x100 = 100
x = 100 ÷ 100
x = 1 (cups in 25%)
This means 1 cup of olive oil was added and this plus 0.5 cup of lemon juice is equivalent to 1.5 cups of solution.
