Answer:
15 gumballs
Step-by-step explanation:
There would have to be...
30%*50 green gumballs
We can start by converting 30% to a fraction. Any percentage is just that number over one hundred so...
30/100*50
We can simplify 30/100 by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 10...
3/10*50
Cancel out 10 and 50 (50/10=5)
3*5
15 gumballs would have to be green
If the gum costs 75 cents today, which is 3 cents less than three times what the pack cost 20 years ago, we just need to arrange what we know into an equation.
We know that the price of gum today is 75 cents, so we can leave that on one side of the equation as a constant. Also, since we are dealing only with cents and not dollars, there is no need to shift the decimal point to the left.
? = 75
Now, we can work the equation.
The problem tells us that 75 is 3 cents less than three times the old cost. So, if x is the old cost, we can work out the equation based on that.
It says that it's 3 cents less than 3 times x. The question is basically the equation in word form.
3x - 3 = 75
'3x' being the "three times the old cost" part, '- 3' being the "3 cents less" part, and '75' of course being the current price of a pack of gum.
Option C is your correct answer.
BTW if we were to solve this, we would see that the old price of a pack of gum is:
3x - 3 = 75
+ 3 + 3
3x = 78
/3 /3
x = 26
20 years ago, a 75-cent pack of gum cost 26 cents.
Hope that helped! =)
Plug the values (x,y)=(0,0) into the inequalities:
0 isn't greater than 0, no (0,0) is not a solution to either of these inequalities.
The answer is D.
