That's not nice!
So we can get through everyday problems. Imagine what it would be like without math. We wouldn't have jobs, money, anything! Math is important, although you might not know it.
Okay. I thought I was reading wrong. Or my mind played tricks on me.
One thing about your answer CPhill...
Maybe I'm wrong about this, but shouldn't you add the two percentages together? 14+35%=49%=.49
272/.49=555(rounded)
Am I wrong about that?
The answer is infinity, thank you!
It has to be percentage. Note the question says the total cost for food and gasoline was $272. 14+35 doesn't equal 272, does it? Good effort Anonymous, but by the way the question is written, I don't see how you could be correct. No offense.
No one agrees?
x=-10. Hope I helped
No problem!
35 squared=1225. Glad I could help!
