To answer this question you have to create a system of equations. The first equation will be that Devi's money (x) equals her brother's money (y), or x = y. The next equation would be that (3/5)x + (7/10)y = 78. You than can substitute x in for y because x = y. The equation would know be (3/5)x + (7/10)x = 78. You then combine the like terms to create an equation of (13/10)x = 78. Then, multiply both sides by 10 / 13 in order to isolate x. This will create the equation x = 60. This means that Devi and her brother each had 60 dollars. You then find out how much they spent and add it together. You can do so with the equation (2/5)x + (3/10)y = z, with z being total money spent. You substitute 60 in for x and for y then solve. When you solve you see that 24 + 18 = z, or that z equals 42. In other words, they spent 42 dollars altogether.
Answer:
0.54 ounces in each tube
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the amount she used so we can add it in. 1.35+0.27= 1.62. Then divide it by the number of tube and since it was a 3 pack you divide it by 3. 1.62/3=0.54 so there is 0.54 ounces in each tube.
Answer:
420% of 85 = 357
Step-by-step explanation:
85/x=100/420
(85/x)*x=(100/420)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
85=0.23809523809524*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.23809523809524) to get x
85/0.23809523809524=x
357=x
x=357
The GCF for 18 and 45 is 9.
