Mrs. Potter was going through her Halloween candy to see which kind she would bring to school. She sorted using decimal values. .17 of her 100 pieces were black licorice. .42 were m&m's. .12 were skittles. .09 were smarties. .14 were lollipops and .06 were gum drops. Mrs. Potter decided to bring the black licorice and the gum drops to school. What percent of her candy did she bring to school?

23%

Step-by-step explanation:

She sorted using decimal values.

We convert the decimals to percent

.17 of her 100 pieces were black licorice.

.17 = 0.17 × 100 = 17%

.42 were m&m = 0.42 × 100 = 42%

.12 were skittles. = 0.12 × 100= 12%

.09 were smarties = 0.09 × 100= 9%

.14 were lollipops = 0.14 × 100 = 14 %

.06 were gum drops. = 0.06 × 100= 6 %

Mrs. Potter decided to bring the black licorice and the gum drops to school. What percent of her candy did she bring to school?

Licorice = 17%

Gum drops = 6%

The percent of her candy that she brought to school = 17% + 6%

= 23%

The percent of her candy that she brought to school is 23%

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
