-2/9, -0.9, -1.7, -4/7
Of the number listed above, which number is the greatest?
-0.9
-4/7
-1.7
-2/9
Correct Answer : D
The initial step is to convert the decimal options to fractions. Then, we find the LCM of the denominators of all fractions, which will be used to compare the values of the given options.
-0. becomes -9/10
-1.7 becomes -17/10
Then, the resulting denominators are 9, 10, and 63. Their LCM of 630 is used to multiply each fraction.
-2/9*630=-140
-9/10*630=-567
-17/10*630=-1071
-4/7*630=-360
From the calculations above, -140 is the greatest value of all the values. Thus, -2/9 is the greatest number.

Step 1: Calculate the Discounted Price per Unit
The original price of each unit of bedding is $160. Since there is a 10% discount, the discounted price per unit is:
DiscountedPrice =160−(0.1×160) =160×0.9
Step 2: Determine the Total Cost
If X units are purchased, the cost for all units is:
T = (0.9)160X
Since there is a fixed shipping cost of $25 per order, the total cost equation becomes:
T = (0.9)160X+25
Step 3: Identify the Correct Answer
The equation that matches this is:
C. T=(0.9)160X+25
