Answer:
192
Step-by-step explanation:
12.5% is 24.
So 100% will be (100/12.5) x 24 = 192.
Done.
Answer:
Total cost = <em>$</em> 4.55
Step-by-step explanation:
2(8a + 5b) -(2a + 3b)
<em>Part A: Simplify the expression shown above</em>
Exapanding the brackets;
16a + 10b - 2a - 3b
Collecting like terms;
16a - 2a + 10b - 3b
14a + 7b
<em>Part B: If a represents apples that cost $0.25 each and b represents bananas that cost SO. 15 each, what is the total cost based on the expression above?</em>
a = 0.25
b = 0.15
14a + 7b
Inserting the values into the equation;
14 (0.25) + 7(0.15)
Total cost = <em>$</em> 4.55
300 + 0+ 1, 200 + 50+ 6, 800 +70 + 8.
If you would like to solve for the positive value of x, you can do this using the following steps:
6 * x^2 - 54 = 0 /6
x^2 - 9 = 0
(x - 3) * (x + 3) = 0
1. x = 3
2. x = - 3
The correct result would be x = 3.
