<h3>Answer:  14.85 + c = 20</h3>

============================================================

Reason:

To compute the change, we subtract the amount William gives the cashier (the $20) and the price of the book ($14.85)

The change c is

c = 20-14.85

To rearrange this equation, we can add 14.85 to both sides to end up with 14.85 + c = 20

In other words, solving that equation in bold leads to c = 20-14.85 = 5.15 which is the change William is given.

----------------

Extra info (optional section)

If the cashier wanted to mentally figure out the change in his/her head, then notice the jump from 85 cents to 100 cents is 15 cents. That means we go from 14.85 to 15.00

Then the jump from $15 to $20 is an extra 5 dollars. Overall, the total change given back to William is 0.15+5 = 5.15 dollars.

Mrs. Williams teaches preschool. At snack time on Monday, Mrs. Williams used 2/3 of a bottle of juice to give 12 students each a
MakcuM [25]

Answer: 1 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of students that a bottle of juice can cater for be x. Therefore,

2/3 × x = 12

2x/3= 12

2x = 12 × 3

2x = 36

x = 36/2

x = 18

Since Mrs. Williams gave juice to 21 students, the number of bottles of juice that was used will be:

= 21/18

= 1 3/18

= 1 1/6
