Answer:
24 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The total fare is the sum of the pickup fee and the mileage charge. For xx miles, the mileage charge will be 1.75xx, so the total is ...
1.75xx +2.90 = 44.90 . . . equation for xx
1.75xx = 42.00 . . . . . subtract 2.90
xx = 24 . . . . . . . . . divide by 1.75
The number of miles in Nicole's taxi ride was 24.
Answer: A. divided the difference of the two quantities by the sum of the two quantities.
===================================================
Explanation:
The difference of the quantities is 20-15 = 5
The sum of the quantities is 20+15 = 35
Dividing those results leads to 5/35 = 0.142857 which rounds to 0.1429
That converts to 14.29%
This is likely the path Adam took. This path is incorrect. The correct steps are shown below
---------------------
Difference = 20-15 = 5
Divide the difference over the original quantity
5/20 = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
We have a 25% decrease because the new quantity (15) is smaller than the old quantity (20)
----------------------
Here's another way to approach the problem
A = old value = 20
B = new value = 15
C = percent change
C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100%
C = [ (15-20)/20 ] * 100%
C = (-5/20)*100%
C = -0.25*100%
C = -25%
The negative C value means we have a negative percent change, ie we have a percent decrease. So this is another way to get a 25% decrease.
Answer:
Jane: 37 years old
Anne: 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Jane 12 years ago: 5x
Anne 12 years ago: x
In three years into the future:
Jane: 5x+15
Anne: x+15
CURRENT TIME:
Jane: 5x+12
Anne: x+12
Equation (using 3 years into the future ages): 5x+15=2(x+15)
5x+15=2x+30
(subtract 15 from both sides)
5x=2x+15
3x=15
x=5
Therefore, Jane is 37 years old and Anne is 17 years old.
The greatest common factor of 10 and 20 is 10.
Answer:
1 - 3 = 2/ 6x +2=8x 8x-2 = 6x divided by 6x = 1x so there but if 1 to ur math is no solution then theres no solution but if there is a solution ur welcome! 5*
