3x = 2 1/4
What is the value of x
To find the value of x, we need to isolate x by dividing both sides of the equation by 3.
3x = 2 1/4
x = (2 1/4) / 3
x = 9/4 / 3
x = 9/4 ÷ 3/1
x = 9/4 * 1/3
x = 9/12
x = 3/4
Therefore, the value of x is 3/4.
Yoshio's fabric costs $ 28.75. He gives the cashier some money, and his change is $s.25. How much money does Yoshio give to the cashier?
Let m be the amount of money in dollars that Yoshio gives to the cashier.
Write an equation to describe the situation.
- ➗ = m 28.75 1.25
To write an equation to describe the situation, we can use the information provided:
Yoshio's fabric costs $28.75.
He receives $1.25 in change.
Let m be the amount of money in dollars that Yoshio gives to the cashier.
The equation can be written as:
Amount given - Cost of fabric = Change received
m - 28.75 = 1.25
Therefore, the equation to describe the situation is:
m - 28.75 = 1.25
How much money does Yoshio give to the cashier?
Yoshio gives $? to the cashier.
To find the amount of money Yoshio gives to the cashier, we can use the equation:
m - 28.75 = 1.25
First, isolate m by adding 28.75 to both sides of the equation:
m = 28.75 + 1.25
m = 30
Therefore, Yoshio gives $30 to the cashier.
