Liberty bought a make-your-own salad when she went out to lunch at a restaurant. The salad cost $4, plus $0.85 for each salad topping. Liberty spent $9.95 on the salad. Which equation can be used to find t, the number of toppings that Liberty ordered on her salad? A.
4.00 + 0.85t = 9.95

B.
0.85 + 4.00t = 9.95

C.
4.00 x 0.85t = 9.95

D.
0.85 x 4.00t = 9.95

4.00+0.85t=9.95

Step-by-step explanation:

4+0.85t=9.95

-4             -4

0.85t=5.95

/0.85   /0.85

t=7

tigers

step-by-step explanation:

cougars 12/10 (12-10 = 2)

bobcats 20/10 (20-10 =10)

bulldogs 8/5 (8-5 =3)

tigers 3/5 (3-5 =-2)

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
