Answer:

Athena weighs 6 pounds. (Zeus weighs 3 pounds).

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that A (Athena) + Z (Zeus) = 9. And we know that Zeus weighs three pounds less than Athena. Knowing this we can do
1 + 8 = 9
2 + 7 = 9
3 + 6 = 9
We can see that 6 and 3 equal 9 and 6 is 3 away from 3, getting us the answer that Athena weighs 6 pounds. :) I hope this helps! ^^

X + (X-3) = 9
2X -3 = 9
2X = 12
X = 6


X-3 = ?

One cat weighs 6 lbs and one weighs 3 lbs for total of 9 lbs. Athena weighs 6 lbs.

Your Roasted Snout dinner cost you $45.99. You will tip your server 15% of the bill. What is the TOTAL cost of your bill (includ
irina [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The basic cost of the Snout is              45.99

15% of that amount = 45.99*15/100 = <u>    6.90</u>

Total Cost                                               52.89

You could figure out the total cost a slightly different way.      

You could set up

Cost = snout (1 + 15%)

Cost  = snout(1 + 15/100)

Cost = snout( 1 + 0.15)

Cost = 45.99(1.15)

Cost = 52.89
