Lets set the number as y. xy should be the same as y/.125. So lets solve. x should be equal to y*1/0.125. Therefore x=8

The value of x is 0.125.
We can use an equation to solve this, where n stands for the number:
n*x=n/0.125
We can cancel out the n's on both sides, because the two n's are equal to each other and therefore can be cut out, so we are left with:
x=0.125.
Hope I helped! ;)

Evelyn went shopping with half of her monthly allowance. She spent $39.95 on a dress and 3/7 of the remainder on some accessorie

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Evelyn monthly allowance is $187.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the monthly allowance be 'x'.

Given:

Money taken with for shopping = $\frac{x}{2}$

Money spent of dress = $39.95

Also Given:

3/7 of the remainder on some accessories.

Money spent on accessories is equal to $\frac{3}{7}$ times Difference of monthly allowance and Money spent of dress.

framing in equation form we get;

Money spent on accessories = $\frac{3}{7}\times(\frac{x}{2}-39.95)$

Also Given:

Money left after shopping = $30.60

Now we know that;

Money taken with for shopping is equal to sum of Money spent of dress and Money spent on accessories and Money left after shopping.

framing in equation form we get;

$\frac{x}{2}=39.95+\frac{3}{7}(\frac{x}{2}-39.95)+30.60\\\\\frac{x}{2}=39.95+\frac{3x}{14}- 17.12 +30.60$

Combining like terms we get;

$\frac{x}{2}-\frac{3x}{14}=39.95-17.12+30.60\\\\\frac{x}{2}-\frac{3x}{14}= 53.43$

Now we will make denominator common using L.C.M

$\frac{x\times 7}{2\times7}-\frac{3x\times1}{14\times1}= 53.43\\\\\frac{7x}{14}-\frac{3x}{14}= 53.43\\\\\frac{7x-3x}{14}=53.43\\\\\frac{4x}{14}=53.43\\\\4x=53.43\times14\\\\x= \frac{53.43\times14}{4} = \$187$

Hence Evelyn monthly allowance is $187.

A local car dealer is advertising a 2-year lease

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

c = 150m+3000

Step-by-step explanation:

So if 150 is the monthly payment and c is the total cost you'd be looking for c and 150 would be multiplied by m for how ever many months is takes to pay it off. You would then just add on the 3000 dollar deposit since its just a one time payment to start out with.
