The answer here is simple to work out. We know that Ella has a total of $2.16. We need to determine each piece of gums value.
We also know that if the pieces of gum were one penny cheaper, she would have received three additional pieces.
At 8 pieces we know that each piece costs 27 cents. If the pieces of gum were one cent cheaper, she would have ended up with 8.64 pieces. Even with rounding, because the answer is not 11, we know that this is incorrect.
At 9 pieces we know that each piece costs 24 cents. If the pieces of gum were one cent cheaper, she would have ended up with 9.39 pieces. Even with rounding, because the answer is not 12, we know that this is incorrect.
At 16 pieces we know that each piece costs 13.5 cents. If the pieces of gum were one cent cheaper, she would have ended up with 17.28 pieces. Even with rounding, because the answer is not 19, we know that this is incorrect.
At 24 pieces we know that each piece costs 9 cents. If the pieces of gum were one cent cheaper, she would have ended up with 27 pieces. We know this is the correct answer because 27-24 is 3.
The correct answer is D) 24
x is 
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
EP = FP
GQ = FQ
Since the sides are equal, the ΔFPQ and ΔFEG are similar.
According to the property of similarity:
On substituting the value:
Perimeter will be sum of all the sides. If y is known then substitute the value and then find the perimeter.
Answer:
$14
Step-by-step explanation:
35/20 = 1.75
8*1.75 = 14
Mike tosses 70%
Ike tosses 67%
Both tosses 50%
<span>Which of the following is closest to the probability that Ike's proportion is ringers is higher than Mike's for those tosses?
</span>
P(m) = 70/100
P(i) = 67/100
P(b) = 50/100
= P(b) * P(i)
= 50/100 * 67/100
= 0.335
The correct answer is letter D) 0.3745.
(1) x represents the number of apples bought, y represents the number of bananas.
(2) each term represents the total costs of a given fruit, so 0.50x is the total cost of apples and 0.30y is total cost of bananas.
(3) The coefficients are unit prices: coefficient 0.50 is the price of 1 apple, 0.30 is the price of 1 banana.
