Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say x is Oscar's age, and y is Vanessa's age.

When Oscar was Vanessa's age, Vanessa was y−(x−y) = 2y−x years old.  Oscar is five times older than this:

x = 5 (2y − x)

x = 10y − 5x

6x = 10y

3x = 5y

When Vanessa is Oscar's age, Oscar will be x+(x−y) = 2x−y years old.  The sum of their ages will by 72.

2x−y + x = 72

3x − y = 72

Substituting:

5y − y = 72

4y = 72

y = 18

Vanessa is 18.  Which means Oscar is 30.

Let's check our answer.  When Oscar was 18, Vanessa was 6.  Oscar is 5 times older than that (30).  When Vanessa is 30, Oscar will be 42, and their ages will add up to 72.

Answer:

Vanessa is 60 and the other person is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

X + 5x = 72

6x = 72

x = 12

12 x 5 = 60

vanessa is 60

the other person is 12

60 + 12 = 72

29) Adam’s sister wants to watch her intake of fat per day. Here is a guideline of the recommended daily allowances. Typical val
ziro4ka [17]
Basically all the information in this problem is useless. They included all those numbers to confuse you. If you read throughly you can see that all you need to know is that Adam's sister can only have 70 grams of fat each day and that her dinner will have 48 grams of fat.

To figure this out I use this formula all the time to figure out percentages.
is/of=x/100
Your trying to figure out what is 48 percent of 70 because that's how much Adam's sister is going to eat at dinner. So your is would be 48 and your of is 70. When you substitute those numbers your formula becomes 48/70=x/100. Now you cross multiply and get 70x=4800.All that's left is to divide 70 on both sides. Which gives you 68.57.The final answer is 69 percent.

Can someone help please
Ira Lisetskai [31]
Hello there! I can help you! The formula for compound interest is P(1 + r)^t, where P= principal (initial amount), r = interest rate (in decimal form), and t = time (in years). Let's do this step by step. First off, we add the rate into 1. 4% is the interest rate (0.04 in decimal form). 1 + 0.04 is 1.04. Now, what we will do is raise that number to the 2nd power, because the time that elapses is 2 years. 1.04² is 1.0816. That's that. Now, multiply 7,500 to find the total amount of money. 1.0816 * 7,500 is 8,112. There. Toby's savings account balance in 2 years is £8,112.

Note: To solve for compound interest questions like it, add 1 to the percentage rate in decimal form, raise that number to a power based on the number of years (for example, raise the number to the 7th power if we are looking for the balance after 7 years), and then multiply that number by the starting amount. After you raise the number by a power, there may be a lot of numbers behind it. Whatever you do, DO NOT delete the number. Keep it there and multiply it by the principal.

Karan needs to choose between two gym plans. He can either pay a $150 joining fee and a $10 monthly fee, or he can pay a $50 joi
Ierofanga [76]

Let  x be the month on which the fee for two plans are equal.

Therefore,

150 + 10x = 50 + 30x

10x - 30x = 50 - 150

-20x = -100

x = 5

Cumulative cost = 150 + 10(5)

                           = 150 + 50

                           = 200

Hence, Karan will pay a cumulative cost of $200 dollars with either plan to go to the gym for 5 months.
