Answer 1

1.) He still owes $100 of debt

2.) 1 rose would be .75 cents and 1 carnation would be .90 cents

3.) C 8 and 3/8

Step by Step explanation

(/ means divided by in the first 2 equations but / in the last question is for the fractions.)

1.) _(1,500 / 3 =500. 1,500 - 500 =1,000 / 5 =200 x 3 =600. 700 - 600 =$100)

2.)_(1.50/2 =.75 cents. 2.70/3 =.90 cents.)

3.) i first added the fractions ( i equalized them) then i added the whole numbers (the u in the equation was to separate the whole num. and fraction )

Before i equalized it: (6u3/4 + 1u1/8 = 7u1/8 + 1/8 = 8u3/8)

After i equalized it: (6u6/8 + 1u1/8 = 7u1/8 + 1/8 = 8u3/8)
