Given:

Total tips = $ 77.40

Ratio of tips sharing = 2 : 3 : 4

To find:

How much more does Brian get over Paul

Solution:

Let 2x, 3x and 4x be the cost of tips got by Paul, Colin and Brian.

Total cost of tips =$ 77.40

2x + 3x + 4x = 77.40

9x = 77.40

Divide by 9 on both sides.

$\frac{9x}{9}=\frac{77.40}{9}

x = 8.6

Brian gets = 4(8.6) = $34.4

Paul gets = 2(8.6) = $17.2

Difference = 34.4 - 17.2

                  = 17.2

Therefore Brian gets $17.2 more than Paul.

asambeis [7]

Answer:

Cost of the cleaning, C is the dependent variable

Area of the carpet, a is the independent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of the cleaning is calculated from the area of the carpets

C= the cost of the cleaning a= the area of the carpets.

Cost of the cleaning, C is the dependent variable

Area of the carpet, a is the independent variable

A dependent variable is a variable which depends on other factors to exist. They take their values based on other factors. Their value is changed as a result of a change in independent variable

An independent variable is a variable which does not change as a result of the change in other factors. They take their values irrespective of external factors around them.

Dustin complained 3/8 of a homework assignment that has 24 problems. Kelsey completed 4/15 of a homework assignment that has 30
hjlf

Dustin has completed more problems.

You can first use the 2 factors of 24, which are 3 and 8. To make it so you can compare the amount of problems completed with total amount, you need to multiple 8 x 3 and 3 x 3. This will turn 3/8 into 9/24, meaning that dustin has completed 9 problems. You can first use the 2 factors of 30, which are 2 and 15. Once again, to make it so you can compare the amount of problems completed with total amount, you need to multiple 2 x 15 and 2 x 4. This will turn 4/15 into 8/30, meaning that kelsey has completed 8 problems.
