Answer:

75 coloured pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say Jordon has x total pencils.

We know that 20% of these x pencils is 15, so we have:

20% * x = 15

Remember that % is just "out of 100", so 20% = 20/100 = 0.20. Then:

0.20x = 15

x = 15 / 0.20 = 75

Jordon has 75 coloured pencils.

Answer:

75 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total no. of pencils be T

20% of T = 15

20/100 × T = 15

T = 15 × 100/20

T = 15 × 5

T = 75

Jessica, Lauren and Kimmie were paid a total of $120 for babysitting in a ratio of 2:3:5. How much less did Jessica make than Ki
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Jessica makes $36 less than Kimmie  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> amount paid to Jessica

y  ----> amount paid to Lauren

z ----> amount paid to Kimmie

we know that

x+y+z=120 ------> equation A

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{2}{3}

x=\frac{2}{3}y -----> equation B

\frac{y}{z}=\frac{3}{5}

z=\frac{5}{3}y -----> equation C

substitute equation B and equation C in equation A and solve for y

\frac{2}{3}y+y+\frac{5}{3}y=120

\frac{10}{3}y=120

y=120(3)/10

y=36

<em>Find the value of x</em>

x=\frac{2}{3}(36)=24

<em>Find the value of z</em>

z=\frac{5}{3}(36)=60

therefore

The  amount paid to Jessica was $24

The amount paid to Lauren was $36

The amount paid to Kimmie was $60

To find out how much less Jessica did than Kimmie, subtract the amount paid to Jessica from the amount paid to Kimmie.

\$60-\$24=\$36

therefore

Jessica makes $36 less than Kimmie
