Answer:
The first step is to multiply by a power of 10, so the divisor is a whole number.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: Hannah had $16.00 left.
Step-by-step explanation: First, you add $17.00 plus $17.00 or $17.00 times 2 which gives you $34.00. Then, you subtract $50.00 minus $34.00 which gives you $16.00.
Since you can spend all but 20%, then you can spend the rest, namely the 80%.
whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.
therefore, 80% of 225 is then (80/100) * 225, that much.
Let C be the amount of compost
T be the amount of topsoil
Each compost cost = $25
Cost of C compost = 25C
Each topsoil cost = $15
Cost of T topsoil = 15T
Amount of compost + amount of topsoil = 10
C + T = 10 -------> Equation 1
cost of C compost + cost of T topsoil = 180
25C + 15T = 180 --------> equation 2
Solve the first equation for C
C + T = 10
C = 10 - T
Now plug it in second equation
25C + 15T = 180
25 ( 10 - T) +15T = 180
250 - 25T + 15T = 180 (combine like terms)
250 - 10 T = 180 (Subtract 250 on both sides)
-10T = 180 - 250
-10T = -70 ( divide by -10 on both sides)
T = 7
She purchased 7 cubic yards of topsoil .
