Your answer would be 18.39
And here's why:
Behind the decimal your numbers are in the following places.
The (3) is in the tenths place.
The (8) is in the hundredths place.
And the (6) is in the thousandths place.
Whatever number is AFTER the place your rounding, is going to help you out.
If the number is 1-4, you round down.
If the number is 5-9, you round up.
Hope this helps! (:
125/300 so 300 at the bottom and 125 at the top 300-50 is 250 then 250(divided by)2=150
So, we know this:
<span> 5x+10y = 800
and we also know that the number of larger vehicles was 50.
So we can substitute:
</span>
<span>5x+10y = 800
</span>
<span>5x+10*50 = 800
and calculate:
</span><span>5x+500 = 800
and now subtract 500 from both sides:
5x=300
and divide by 5:
x=60.
and this is our answer: there were 60 smaller vehicles washed!
