Answer:

7 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the distance between the library and police station x. Then, the distance between the police station and fire station would be 3 less than twice x. Twice means multiply by 2 so twice x is 2 * x = 2x and 3 less than means that you subtract 3 so 3 less than 2x is 2x - 3. Now, we know that x = 5 so all we have to do now is substitute x = 5 into 2x - 3, therefore, the answer is 2 * 5 - 3 = 7 miles.

A sofa regularly rells for $800. The sale price is $600
sveta [45]

Because the sofa usually sells for $800, we know that's 100% of the price.

100% = $800

Let's find 1%.

1% = $800/100

1% = $8

Next, multiply $8 by 75 to find the percent of the sofas price when it's $600.

75% = $600

We now know that $600 is 75% of the sofas original price.

100% - 75% = 25%

The percent of decrease I'm the sofas sale price is 25%.

Hope I got that right, the question was worded a little strangley so I wasn't quite sure what you were asking :)

Please help me with this question

Answer:

John and Pam are paid $8.5 for each hour worked. John's share of the money is $29.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the hourly salary. John worked for 3.5 hrs, and Pam for two. We can represent this using the equation:

3.5x + 2x = 46.75, where the coefficients equals the amount of hours.

Let's solve for x!

5.5x=46.75

x = 46.75/5.5 = 17/2 = 8.5

John and Pam are paid 8.5 dollars per each hour worked.

To figure out John's share of the money, we will multiply the wage by the hours he worked.

8.5 x 3.5 = 29.75
