The first number: x
The second number: x + 3
The third number 2 * x - 11
Sum of all numbers: 65
We can write it down as an equation:
65 = x + 3 + x + 2x - 11
65 = 4x + 3 - 11
65 = 4x - 8 / + 8 (both sides)
73 = 4x / ÷ 6 (both sides_
x = 18,25
Doublecheck:
The first number: 18,25
The second number 18,25 + 3 = 21,25
The third number: 2 * 18,25 - 11 = 36,5 - 11 = 25,5
Sum of all numbers: 18,25 + 21,25 + 25,25 = 65, so it's correct :)
If 9/10 tons of gravel got spread over 3 feet, then how much gravel is on each foot? Well, it's a ratio.
9/10 tons : 3 ft
So, we divide each side of the ratio by 3.
3/10 tons : 1 ft.
So, that 3/10 tons of gravel on each foot of road.
Answer:
76
Step-by-step explanation:
A + B = 127
5.80A + 4.25B = 657.55
Solve with substitution.
5.80A + 4.25(127 − A) = 657.55
5.80A + 539.75 − 4.25A = 657.55
1.55A = 117.80
A = 76
If you are buying something that cost $15 and sale tax is 6%, you can calculate final bill trough proportions:
$15:100%=$x:106%
100x=106*15, x=(106*15)/100, x=$15.9 is final bill.
You can also use easier way: $15+0.06*$15=$15.9
Explanation for 2nd way: Cost is $15, on that you need to add 6% of $15: (6%/100%)*$15 and that is 0.06*15.
