Answer:
Here is a graph I created.
For Miguel to spend the least amount of money, he would have to buy 2 gallons for $5.98 and two 1/2 gallons for $4.20. The total is $10.18.
I'm stuck on the next question though.
Answer:
x = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
If a line parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides of the triangle, then the line divides these two sides proportionally.
Then x/(x +10) = 42/(42 +15)
x(57) = 42(x + 10)
57x = 42x + 420
15x = 420
x = 28
So first you need to turn the percent into a decimal. So 23% would be 0.23 because you divide 23 by 100 to turn it into a decimal. Now you multiply 0.32 and 256. So:
So your answer would be 23% of 256 is 58.88. I hope this helps! =)
