Answer:

£216

Step-by-step explanation:

The total prize will be the sum of the divisions of the prize. The difference of those divisions is given.

<h3>divisions</h3>

Let P represent the value of the prize. The 1:11 ratio of the parts tells us there are 1 +11 = 12 total parts, and their ratio is P/12 : 11P/12. The sum of these divisions is the whole prize:

P/12 +11P/12 = 12P/12 = P

<h3>difference</h3>

The difference of the two divisions of the prize is ...

11P/12 -P/12 = £180

10P = £2160 . . . . . . . . multiply by 12 and simplify

P = £216 . . . . . . . . divide by 10

The total prize is £216.

<em>Additional comment</em>

The divisions of the prize are

£216/12 = £18 and 11×£18 = £198

The sum of those divisions is the total prize: £18 +198 = £216.

1:11 let’s say 1 = X
So: X:11X
11X - X = 10X = 180
X = 18 (180 : 10)
So total prize is: 18 X 11 = £198

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

x + 14.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply combine like terms. Constants go with each other and <em>x</em> terms go with each other.

6.2 + 8.5 = 14.7

x = x

x + 14.7

Old Grandpa Joe left half his money to his granddaughter and half that amount to his grandson.

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

£12000

Step-by-step explanation:

Granddaughter -- 1/2 of x

Grandson -- 1/2(1/2 of x)

Brother -- 1/6 of x

Dogs' home -- £1000

Therefore,

$\frac{x}{2} + \frac{x}{4} + \frac{x}{6} + 1000 = x$

x = 12000

Thenks and mark me brainliest :)

Good strategy for using slope formula

Fantom [35]

I personally use y2-y1 over x2-x1 because it's simple. Plot two y values and two x values. The first ones you plotted are x1 and y1, the others are x2 y2. Now subtract y2-y1 and x2-x1. Afterwards, divide the y value by the x value, that will give you slope.

A jet ski costs $925 and depreciates by 15% each year. How much will

ivann1987 [24]

Initial cost of the jet ski = $925
Percentage of depreciation per year = 15%
Number of years after which the cost of the jetski has to be determined = 7
Then
Depreciated Value = Initial cost( 1 - percentage of depreciation) ^number of years
      = 925( 1 - 15%)^7
      = 925( 1 - 15/100)^7
      = 925(1 - 0.15)^7
      = 925(0.85)^7
      = 925 *(0.85)^7
      = 925 * 0.3206
      = 296.53 dollars
So the depreciated cost of the jet ski after 7 years will be $296.53

Please help- A car travels 600ft in 20 seconds. A motorcycle travels 300ft in 12 seconds. Which is faster, the car or the motorc

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The Car.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the unit rate for each vehicle to figure out who is traveling faster or slower.

Car: 600/20 = 30 ft per second

Motorcycle: 300/12 = 25 ft per second

So, the Car is faster
