Answer:

  $110

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a, b, and c represent the earnings of Alan, Bob, and Charles. The problem statement tells us ...

  a + b + c = 480 . . . . . . the combined total of their earnings

  -a + b = 40 . . . . . . . . . . Bob earned 40 more than Alan

  2a - c = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . Charles earned twice as much as Alan

Adding the first and third equations, we get ...

  (a + b + c) + (2a - c) = (480) + (0)

  3a + b = 480

Subtracting the second equation gives ...

  (3a +b) - (-a +b) = (480) -(40)

  4a = 440 . . . . . . . . simplify

  a = 110 . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of a

Alan earned $110.

_____

<em>Check</em>

Bob earned $40 more, so $150. Charles earned twice as much, so $220.

The total is then $110 +150 +220 = $480 . . . . as required

The residence of a city voted on whether to raise property taxes the ratio of yes votes to no votes was 7 to 4 if there were 367
Tresset [83]

Answer: 10,098 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is 7 : 4 which means that for every 7 yes votes, there were 4 no votes.

To find the total votes, add the ratios:

= 7 + 4

= 11

4/11 are the no votes out of the total. Assuming the total is x, the formula is:

4/11x = 3,672

x = 3,672 / 4/11

x = 10,098 votes

marishachu [46]
I believe the percent decrease is 20%
as when you multiply 65.5 by 20%
it gives you 13.1
when you minus 13.1 from 65.50
it gives you $52.4
