the original price of a pair of jeans is $32. the sale price is 15% off the original price. what is the amount off the original price?

The correct answer is:

4 full batches.

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to see how many "servings" (the amount needed for the recipe) of granola and peanuts we have.

We have 12 cups of granola. We need 2 3/4 cups. We need to see how many 2 3/4 cup-sized "servings" there are in 12 cups. We do this by dividing:

12 ÷ 2 3/4

Write both of these as improper fractions:

12/1 ÷ 11/4

To divide fractions, flip the second one and multiply:

12/1 × 4/11 = 48/11 = 4 4/11

This means we have 4 full servings of granola.

We have 8 1/2 cups of peanuts. We need 1 1/3 cups. We need to see how many 1 1/3 cups-sized "servings" there are in 8 1/2 cups. We do this by dividing:

8 1/2 ÷ 1 1/3

We need to write both of these as improper fractions:

17/2 ÷ 4/3

To divide fractions, flip the second one and multiply:

17/2 × 3/4 = 51/8 = 6 3/8

We have 6 full servings of peanuts.

The greatest number of full batches we can make will be the smaller of the two full servings we have. We have 4 full servings of granola and 6 full servings of peanuts; we cannot make 6 full batches of trail mix, since we don't have enough granola. This means we can only make 4 full batches.

These would have infinite solutions because this is a slope-intercept equation. Since you are provided with the y-intercept in both, you can put anything in for the slope and it will work.

Hope this helps!
