Choose the equation that could be used to solve this problem. the product of a number and 3 is 87. what is the number? a) 3x = 87 b) x + 3 = 87 c) x 3 = 87 d) x − 3 = 87

A

in mathematics the product of numbers means multiply the numbers

let x be the number, then the product of x and 3 = 3x

the result of this multiplication is 87

so 3x = 87 is the equation to solve the problem

the solution is x = 29

the answer is a

step-by-step explanation:

if gloria has "carry over" minutes, (that is, any minutes paid for but not used in a month can be applied to her payment for minutes in the next month,) her total usage for the three months is: total minutes = 320 + 243 + 489 = 1052 minutes number of 200 minute blocks = 1052/200 = 5 r52 (that is 5 with a remainder of 52) rounding up the number of 200 minute blocks gives her usage for the three months as 6 blocks. the cost for six blocks is 6 x $25 = $150 she also has 200 - 52 or 148 carry over minutes if gloria pays each month and unused minutes are lost, applying the rounding up procedure to each month gives: first month usage of 320 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 second month usage of 243 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 third month usage of 489 minutes rounds up to 3 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 3 x $25 = $75 total payments for the three months are $50 + $50 + $75 = $175 get the plan with carry over minutes!
