Step-by-step explanation:
Will bought several books that cost $ 2.50 each and received a $ 2 discount on the total bill. If he paid $ 10.50, how many books did he buy ?
2.50x - 2.00 = 10.50
2.50x = 10.50 + 2.00
2.50x = 12.50
x = 12.50/2.50
x = 5....he bought 5 books
Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert the fraction into a decimal
1/2 = 0.5
Divide
7/0.5 = 14

Answer: Choice A</h3>
The first line shown in choice A is
which means "the first term is -2"
The next line in choice A means "the nth term (
) is found by multiplying the prior term (
) by 8". Put another way: multiply each term by 8 to get the next term.
first term = -2
second term = 8*(first term) = 8*(-2) = -16
third term = 8*(second term) = 8*(-16) = -128
fourth term = 8*(third term) = 8*(-128) = -1024
and so on.
N - Nicholes money
M - Marys money
(1) N + M = 4800 ⇒ N = 4800 - M
(2) N - 800 = M - 2/5M ⇒ N - 800 = 3/5M
subtitute (1) to (2)
4800 - M - 800 = 3/5M
4000 - M = 3/5M
-M - 3/5M = -4000
-8/5M = -4000 |multiply both sides by (-5/8)
M = 2500
subtitute the value of M to (1)
N = 4800 - 2500
N = 2300
Answer: Mary had at first $2500. (Nichole: $2300).
