Larry’s pet store made $30 before a pipe burst and he had to close early to get it fixed. He realized that he lost Three-fourths of a dollar each hour that the store was closed. If the expression that models this situation is 30 Negative three-fourths x, what is Larry’s profit if the store was closed for 8 hours?

replace 8 for x now you have

30-3/4(8) =

30 -6 = 24

his profit was $24

Step-by-step explanation:

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
