J=3c, c=2b/3, b=27 so

j=3(2b)/3

j=2b, since b=27

j=2(27)

j=54  

So Jim has 54 comic books.

To solve: Work backwards.

A number is given for Bob: 27
We can make equations according to the relations between the three people to find how many books Jim has.

Bob: 27
Charles: 2/3(Bob's value)
Joe: 3(Charle's value)

Solve for Charles first: 2/3(27)= 18 books

Then solve for Joe: 3(18)=54

Answer: Joe has 54 books.

The infinite sequence $T=\{t_0,t_1,t_2,\ldots\}$ is defined as $t_0=0,$ $t_1=1,$ and $t_n=t_{n-2}+t_{n-1}$ for all integers $n&g
katrin [286]

t_n are the Fibonacci numbers,

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, ...

Taken modulo 7, we get the sequence

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 1, 6, 0, 6, 6, 5, 4, 2, 6, 1, ...

that repeats with period 16 (this is known as the 7th Pisano period).

This is to say,

t_a\equiv t_{16n+5}\equiv t_5\equiv5\pmod7

t_b\equiv t_{16n+10}\equiv t_{10}\equiv6\pmod7

t_c\equiv t_{16n+15}\equiv t_{15}\equiv1\pmod7

so that

(t_a+t_b+t_c)\equiv(5+6+1)\equiv\boxed5\pmod7

33% of what is 5? Help!
Slav-nsk [51]
33% of 15 is 5. If 5 = 33%, that means that x/3=5. so multiply both sides by 3 to get x=15.
It is asking what number can you take 33% of and get 5? So you are not dividing 5 by 3, you are multiplying it by 3
