Answer:
- 27 hot dogs
- 13 bags of popcorn
Step-by-step explanation:
Had all received popcorn, the bill would have been 40×$1.75 = $70. The bill was $13.50 more than that. Each hot dog purchased in place of popcorn adds $0.50 to the bill, so the number of hot dogs must be ...
$13.50/$0.50 = 27
Of course, the remainder of the 40 items were popcorn, so 13 bags of popcorn.
27 hot dogs and 13 bags of popcorn were purchased.
I used to hate fractions. But in time, you learn to love them. This is because there's a big difference between fractions and decimals, even though when you divide the actual fraction it comes out to a decimal. Decimals go on and on sometimes, and it would be impossible to write out all those numbers, especially when taking a timed test, for example. Fractions, in this case, would be much more useful (as long as you know how to use them to your advantage). Fractions are basically all those decimal numbers wrapped up into a single, simple division. It makes the outcome of your answer much more accurate than if you estimate every decimal you get throughout a math problem. The more you estimate throughout the problem-solving process, the less accurate your final answer will be. Hence why teachers will usually tell you to estimate when you're putting down the final answer. Fractions are complex at times, so it may be easier to use them in decimal form for certain situations (especially if the decimal form is short and sweet). A world without fractions will result in many, many inaccurate situations involving mathematical knowledge.
Answer:
The answer is,
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, you have to get rid of fraction by multiplying (r-3) to both side and expand out:
t × (r-3) = r/(r-3) × (r-3)
rt - 3t = r
Then you have to move all the "r" variables to one side and other variables to the other side:
rt - r = 3t
You can make "r" as a subject by taking out the common term, you can see that the common term on the left is "r" so you can bring out:
r(t-1) = 3t
r = 3t/(t-1)
