Answer 1

its a and d

Explanation:

got it right on khan

Answer 2

Option a :
`0.67x`

and

b :
`(1-(33)/(100))x`.

Explanation:

We are given that a old soup recipe and one new soup recipe

We have to find the expression which represents the amount of sodium per serving in milligrams, in the new recipe

We are given that

The old recipe contained amount of sodium per serving =x milligrams

We are given that the new soup recipe contains 33% less sodium per serving than the old soup recipe

Therefore, 33% of x

33% of x
`=(33)/(100)x`

Now , according to question

The amount of sodium in new soup recipe =
`x-(33)/(100)x`=
`x-0.33 x`

The amount of sodium in new soup recipe=
`0.67x`

Therefore, the expression that represents the amount of sodium in new soup in milligrams in new soup recipe=
`(1-(33)/(100))x=0.67 x`

Hence. option a and b are true.
