3(x-2)=12

Solve the equation above for x. Which of the following is the correct answer?

 

 we are to find the selling price of the sweater from the marked price and the discount. The marked price is given as

Discount=mark off rate*original price

Discount=15%*$78

Convert 15% into a fraction, which become 15/100=0.15. Then

Discount=0.15*$78=$11.70

The selling price of the sweater will be the original price less the discount or mark off value. Then,

Thus, the approximate selling price of the sweater is $66.

We are needed to find the amount Jacob will be left with after spending and reinvesting the rest using the given information.

Amount Jacob spends=87% of $100=87/100*100=$87

Amount left to invest=$(100-87)=$13

Jacob is left with $13, which she invests and earns a profit of 75%.

Profit earned on invested amount=75% of $13=75/100*13=$9.75

So, Jacob will have $13+$9.75=$22.75

When solving percent problems, the following words and their meaning becomes handy.

• Is means equals
• Of means multiply
• What means unknown (variable)

If we let x represent the amount of tip the couple want to leave behind, then

So, the couple will leave a tip of $2.84, which is about $3.00

The net income is the salary of the teacher gets after deducting total taxes.

Weekly net income=weekly gross income-total tax

Total tax=federal income tax+state income tax+Social Security tax

Total tax=$(72.00+35.00+65.00)

Total tax=$172.00

Weekly net income=$(730.00-172.00)=$558.00

The net income the teacher gets in 4 weeks is what she gets in one week multiplied by 4

The teacher will earn a net income of $2,232.00 in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted.

Before we compare the values of the options, we convert the decimals to fractions.

5.4 becomes 54/10

6.25 becomes 625/100

Thus, the set of fractions is 11/2, 54/10, 13/3, 625/100. The least common denominator for 2, 10, 3, and 100 is 300, which we use to compare each options given.

11/2*300=1650

54/10*300=1620

13/3*300=1300

625/100*300=1875

From the above, 1875 is the greatest value which corresponds to 6.25. Therefore, 6.25 is the greatest value of all the choices given.

: a ratio can be thought of a fraction of the form a/b, where b is not equal to zero. In ratio form, to means per.

Now, the class has 26 girls and 22 boys. Thus, the ratio of girls to boys becomes:

The fraction above reduces into

In ratio form, girls: boys=13:11

Thus, the ratio of girls to boys in a class of 48 students is 13 to 11.

From the given estimations, we can find the exact sum after adding the given numbers and see the trend the student utilizes to find their estimates. The actual sum is as follows

26+180=206

115+391=506

497+2024=2521

From the above evaluation, the students round the exact sum to the nearest tens. So, in the problem we need to approximate 545+7501.

545+7501=8046

The exact sum is 8046 and the approximate value after rounding to the nearest tens is 8050.

to convert fraction to percent, multiply the fraction with 100%. Therefore, the percent equivalent of 3/4 is

3/4*100%=75%

Thus, 3/4is equal to 75%.

: In order to solve for the value of x, we use the order of operations as follows:

The first step is to divide both sides by 3

Add 2 to both sides to eliminate it from the left-hand side of the equation

x-2+2=4+2

x = 6

Thus, the value of x is 6.

The babies' measured weights change over time and depend on the time interval after birth. Since weight is the outcome being measured, it is the dependent variable in the study.
