10 divided by 2= 5 Each person will get 5 punch
Answer:
47.4%
Step-by-step explanation:
The total amount Louise spent on Frappuccinos was 4×$4.50 = $18. The fraction that is of the total is ...
Fraps/Total = $18/$38 = 9/19
That can be converted to a percentage by multiplying by 100%:
9/19 = (9/19)×100% ≈ 47.4%
Louise spent 47.4% of the $38 on Frappuccinos.

The decimal equivalent of 9/19 is a repeating decimal with an 18-digit repeat.
Try this option (it is not the only way):
the points (0;0) and (2;2) belong to the curve. Using the coordinates of these points it is possible to calculate the equation.
22 quarters and 4 nickels
The first thing you want to do is plug in x and y into both equations:
a(3) + b(4) = 4
b(3) + a(4) = 8
rearrange to line up a’s and b’s
3a + 4b = 4
4a + 3b = 8
now you want to choose a or b and multiply each equation by a number to make them have the same amount of a’s or b’s.
4(3a + 4b = 4) = 12a + 16b = 16
3(4a + 3b = 8) = 12a + 9b = 24
Now we subtract the bottom equation from the top and solve for b:
12a + 16b - (12a + 9b) = 16 - 24
7b = -8
b = -8/7
Now we plug back in for b to one of the original equations:
3a + 4(-8/7) = 4
3a + (-32/7) = 4
3a - (32/7) = 4
3a = 4 + (32/7)
3a = (28/7) + (32/7)
3a = 60/7
a = (60/7)/3 = 20/7.
Finally, plug a and b in together to double check using the second equation.
4a + 3b = 8
4(20/7) + 3(-8/7) = ?
(80/7) - (24/7) = ?
56/7 = 8.
