Question 444965
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


1.  Familiarize:  "Hello, problem.  My name is John."  Wait for response.  Not hearing a response, continue with step 2 while making a mental note to complain to your teacher/instructor/professor about this problem's lack of social graces.


2.  "the cars" and 70 are the same thing, "of" means multiply, and 60% means 0.60, so:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 0.60\,\cdot\,70\ =\ \ ] the number of cars in the grocery store parking lot that are red.


3.  I only do the algebra part.  The arithmetic part is yours to do.


4.  Divide your answer by 70.  You should get 0.6.  Divide your answer by 0.6.  You should get 70.  If not, repeat step 3.


5.  <State the result of step 3> of the 70 cars in the grocery store parking lot are red.


John
*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
