Chris spends $32.64 at the craft store. he buys three
yards of fabric at $8.99 per yard and three spools of
thread. what is the price of one spool of thread?

one spool of thread costs $1.89

Step-by-step explanation:

$8.99x3=$26.97

$32.64-$26.97=$5.76

$5.76 divided by 3=$1.89

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!

answer: there are 453.592 grams in a pound.
