Answer:

x=\frac{18000}{7}=2571\frac{3}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total amount be x

Then Ali got 1/8x With 7/8x left

Juma got 7/40x with 7/10x left

Musa, Khalid and Mustafa got 7/30x each

since \frac{7}{30}x=600

7x=18000

x=\frac{18000}{7}=2571\frac{3}{7}

I NEED HELP! ASAP, THIS IS SO HARD AND MY BRAIN HURTS, IF U HELP ME WITH OTHER QUESTIONS LIKE THIS ILL GIVE U 50+ POINTS
Dimas [21]

Answer:

24.3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to follow the order of operations PEMDAS:

  • Parentheses
  • Exponents
  • Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
  • Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)

Carry out the operation in the parentheses first:

   3³ + 14.7 ÷ 7 - (1.2 × 4)

⇒ 3³ + 14.7 ÷ 7 - 4.8

Now the exponent:

⇒ 3³ + 14.7 ÷ 7 - 4.8

⇒ (3 × 3 × 3) + 14.7 ÷ 7 - 4.8

⇒ 27 + 14.7 ÷ 7 - 4.8

Now, the division (there is no multiplication):

⇒ 27 + 14.7 ÷ 7 - 4.8

⇒ 27 + 2.1 - 4.8

Finally, carry out the addition and subtraction (from left to right)

⇒ 27 + 2.1 - 4.8

⇒ 29.1 - 4.8

⇒ 24.3
