  15. [latex]\frac{4987}{37632}[/latex]
  16. [latex]\frac{325}{552}[/latex]
  17. [latex]\frac{6}{25}[/latex]
  18. [latex]23\%[/latex]
  19. [latex]75[/latex]
  20. The total number of members in the group is [latex]164[/latex].
  21. [latex]65\%[/latex]
  22.  There are [latex]24[/latex] students in Professor Donaldson’s history of film class who say their favorite movie genre is comedy.
  23. There are [latex]3,120[/latex] people in Tara’s town who are food insecure.
  24. Maddie needs [latex]4.8[/latex] cups of mayonnaise and [latex]3.2[/latex] cups of apple cider vinegar.
  25. There is [latex]41.8[/latex] liters of oxygen in [latex]200[/latex] liters of air.
  26. The discount on the laptop is [latex]$140.00[/latex].
  27. [latex]13[/latex] kilograms is equivalent to [latex]28.660[/latex] pounds (rounded to three decimal places).
  28. [latex]10[/latex] miles is equivalent to [latex]633,600[/latex] inches.
  29. For the markup question regarding Wegmans cereal:
    1. The markup in dollars is [latex]$0.79[/latex].
    2. The markup is [latex]52.7%[/latex] of the original cost (rounded to one decimal place).
    1. After a [latex]50\%[/latex] discount on the original price of [latex]$150.00[/latex], the price of the item becomes [latex]$75.00[/latex].
    2. [latex]25\%[/latex] of the sale price is [latex]$18.75[/latex].
    3. When an additional [latex]25\%[/latex] coupon is applied to the discounted price of [latex]$75.00[/latex], the new price becomes [latex]$56.25[/latex].
    4. The total amount saved on the item is [latex]$93.75[/latex], which is the difference between the original price and the final price paid.
    5.  The effective discount percentage is [latex]62.5\%[/latex].
    6.  The effective discount percentage is not equal to [latex]75\%[/latex]. This is because the second discount of [latex]25\%[/latex] is applied to the already discounted price, not the original price. The discounts compound rather than add directly, leading to a smaller percentage discount than simply adding the two percentages together.

Irrational Numbers

  1. [latex]\sqrt{70}[/latex], [latex]5 + 9\pi[/latex]
  2. [latex]2\sqrt{3}[/latex]
  3. [latex]11\sqrt{5}[/latex]
  4. [latex]4\sqrt{7}[/latex]
  5. [latex]14\sqrt{15}[/latex]
  6. [latex]18\sqrt{10}[/latex]
  7. [latex]6\sqrt{3}[/latex]
  8. [latex]-7\sqrt{7}[/latex]
  9. This expression involves [latex]\pi[/latex] and the square root of [latex]2[/latex], which are both irrational numbers. Without a calculator, we can’t get a numerical value for this expression. It is as simplified as it can be without numeric approximation.
  10. [latex]15.8\pi[/latex]
  11. Since these do not have the same irrational part, the calculation can not be done.
  12. [latex]6\sqrt{60}[/latex]
  13. [latex]\frac{ 3\sqrt{2}}{2}[/latex]
