First, let's identify some variables:
d = dress price
s = shirt price
d = 3s
12s + d = 450
Because d = 3s, we can substitute the variable:
12s + 3s = 450
15s = 450
s = 30
The shirt costs $30, and the dress $10
The formula for distance problems is: distance = rate × time or d = r × t
Things to watch out for:
Make sure that you change the units when necessary. For example, if the rate is given in miles per hour and the time is given in minutes then change the units appropriately.
It would be helpful to use a table to organize the information for distance problems. A table helps you to think about one number at a time instead being confused by the question.
The following diagrams give the steps to solve Distance-Rate-Time Problems. Scroll down the page for examples and solutions. We will show you how to solve distance problems by the following examples:

The correct answer is: AB = 3.11
Explanation:
Since
--- (1)
= 50°
base = 2
And hypotenuse = AB
Plug in the values in (1):
(1) => cos(50°) = 2/AB
=> AB = 2/0.643
=> AB = 3.11
Rotation as you could rotate it 360 degrees back into its original place
8^15 ÷ 1/8^3 = 8^15 x 8^3=8^18
