Natalie likes to mail lots of postcards when she goes on holiday. In 2014 the cost of a single postcard stamp was 0.34 1. Today Natalie buys 10 postcard stamps so what is the total cost of the stamps

2. Natalie and her freinds decide to buy 100 postcard stamps what will be the total cost of the stamps now?

1: $3.40     2: $34.00

Step-by-step explanation:

you take 0.34 and multiply it by how many stamps you have. So in this case you have 10 stamps for #1 so you move the decimal over to the right once (since one step is a tenth) and you have $3.40 and for 100 stamps you restart with 0.34 and move the decimal over to the right twice since that would be one-hundredths, and you would get 34. or when you add the units $34.00

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

option (b) is correct

step-by-step explanation:

to find the solution of this system, we need to convert it into reduced row-echelon form. we have,

after applying row operations r2 -> r2/2 and r3 -> r3/3, we get,
