Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Part A

Peter can use the fact that 10% of 87 is 8.70 to find the amount he would save because 40% is just 4 times bigger than 10% so he can take 8.70 from to total of the coat 4 times to find out how much it cost.

Part B

Using the same method we know that 10% of 64 is 6.40 so we subtract that from the price of the coat 4 times to find out how much it cost

64 - 6.40 = 57.6

57.6 - 6.40 = 51.2

51.2 - 6.40 = 44.8

44.8 - 6.40 - 38.4

The price of the coat is $38.4

Hope this helps!

Patricia can drive 36 kilometers for every 3 liters of gas she puts in her car

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Patricia will run 132 kilometers with 11 liters of gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given table is representing the distance driven by Patricia for every liter of gas she puts in her car.

With 3 liters of gas she drives 36 kilometers.

This means in one liter of gas distance covered by the car = $\frac{36}{3}=12$ kilometers.

Similarly if the car runs 48 kilometers in 4 liters of gas then per liter distance covered by the gas will be = $\frac{48}{4}=12$ kilometers

Now with 11 liters of gas distance covered by the car will be = 11×12

= 132 kilometers

Therefore, with 11 liters of gas Patricia can run 132 kilometers.

John needs 13 bottles of water from the store. john can only carry 3 at a time. what's the minimum number of trips john needs to

Lostsunrise [7]

The minimum amount of trips would be 5. This is because in one trip he can only carry 3, so you would take 5 times 3. You may think it should be 4 trips, but 12 is 1 short of 13,so you would have to make one extra trip to get all 13 bottles.
