You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A) It takes r cm of ribbon to make a bow. We have s meters of ribbon. How many bows can we make?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "it should be apparent that you would divide the amt of ribbon you have, by the amt it takes to make each ribbon
\n" ); document.write( "Let no. of ribbons made = A
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "A = \"s%2Fr\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "B) 20% of 3x+12=P.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "20% = .2, therefore:
\n" ); document.write( ".2(3x+ 12) = P
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both terms by .2
\n" ); document.write( ".6x + 2.4 = P
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " What is 120% of 5x+20?
\n" ); document.write( "120 = 1.2
\n" ); document.write( "1.2(5x = 20) = 6x + 24
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
