- Construction Miguel wants to drill a hole for a \(\frac{5}{8}\) inch screw. The hole should be \(\frac{1}{12}\) inch smaller than the screw. Let \(d\) equal the size of the hole he should drill. Solve the equation \(d=\frac{5}{8}-\frac{1}{12}\) to see what size the hole should be.
- Baking Kelsey needs \(\frac{2}{3}\) cup of sugar for the cookie recipe she wants to make. She only has \(\frac{3}{8}\) cup of sugar and will borrow the rest from her ner neighbor. Let \(s\) equal the amount of sugar she will borrow. Solve the equation \(\frac{3}{8}+s=\frac{2}{3}\) to find the amount of sugar she should ask to borrow.
- Commissions Every week Perry gets paid \(\$150\) plus 12% of his total sales amount. Solve the equation \(840=150+0.12(a-1250)\) for \(a\) to find the total amount Perry must sell in order to be paid \(\$ 840\) one week.
- Stamps Travis bought $9.45 worth of 49-cent stamps and 21-cent stamps. The number of 21-cent stamps was 5 less than the number of 49-cent stamps. Solve the equation 0.49s+0.21(s−5)=9.45 for s, to find the number of 49-cent stamps Travis bought.
