Twelve less than thrice a number

Which of the following translates the phrase above into a mathematical expression?

In this scenario, we use the given scale in the charts to find the number of each coin and selected the right number of coins the student collected.

From the above evaluations, option two is the correct choice.

We use the order of operation to solve for the unknown value of x.

3(3x+3)=8x+5

Multiply 3 with each number in the brackets

(3*3x)+(3*3)=8x+5

9x+9=8x+5

Subtract 9 from both sides

9x+9-9=8x+5-9

9x=8x-4

Subtract 8x on both sides

9x-8x=8x-8x-4

x=-4

Thus, the unknown value of x is -4.

A whole pizza represents 1, and two friends eat ¼ of the pizza. The remaining fraction of pizza is:

Remaining amount = 

Thus, 3/4 of pizza is left for three friends to share equally.

Now, the other three friends will each get

So, the other three friends will each get 1/4 of the pizza.

To form an equation from the word problem, first break the given statement into smaller statements.

First, we are given the width of the rectangle as x. We are told, the length is three times width. Mathematically, this means

Length=3*width=3*x=3x

Again, the length is 4 less than 3 times width of the rectangle. Thus, the length of rectangle in terms of width becomes:

Length =3x-4

This is the required equation.

From the cost of 45 syringes, we are required to find the cost of 5 syringes. We set up a proportion equation by letting the cost of 5 syringes to y. Besides, we let the cost to be numerator and number of syringes to be denominator as follows.

Solve the value of y by cross products

Divide both sides by 45

Therefore, 5 syringes will cost $80.00.

The truck carries a whole cargo which equals 1. If we let the weight of the cargo to be p, then we set up a proportion equation with weight as numerator and fraction of cargo as denominator.

Solve for value of p by cross products

Multiply both sides by 3/2 a reciprocal of 2/3

The truck carries a cargo weighing 795 lb.

In order for the teacher to better visualize the test performance for his class, he needs to present the mark distribution in chart form. A better chart visualizer is the histogram, which will show the frequency of marks against range of test scores. A bar graph will not be used because the rectangles need to touch one another.

In a bar graph, the rectangles do not touch each other. Therefore, it will not be a good chart visualizer.

Let x be the original price of the recliner.

Step 1: Apply the 30% discount

The recliner is on sale for 30% less than the original price:

SalePrice=x−0.3x=0.7x

Step 2: Apply the 25% coupon discount

The consumer gets an additional 25% off the sale price:

FinalPrice=0.7x−0.25(0.7x) = 0.525x

Step 3: Solve for x

The consumer paid $237, so:

0.525x=237

​ x≈451.43x

Rounding to the nearest dollar, the original price is $451.

To solve this problem, we need to have all options in fraction form.

74  95 = 

7/8 = 3/8

0.72 = 72/100

74% = 74/100

Now, find the least common denominator of 95, 8, and 100. The least common denominator is 3800, which we multiply by each fraction as follows:

74/95*3800=2960

7/8*3800=3325

72/100*3800=2736

74/100*3800=2812

We can see that the fraction 7/8 is the greatest among the given options.

Based rainfall falling for the first 5 months, a bar graph will give a great display for the farmer to decide when start planting. The horizontal scale will represent months of the year and vertical scale will present the amount of rainfall falling.
