J - Jan's age
T - Tritt's age

(1) J + 3 = 2T
(2) J + T = 30    |subtract T from both sides
(2) J = 30 - T

subtitute (2) to (1)

30 - T + 3 = 2T
33 - T = 2T    |add T to both sides
3T = 33    |divide both sides by 3
T = 11

subtitute the value of T to (2)

J = 30 - 11
J = 19

Answer: Jan is 19 and Tritt is 11.

J + t = 30
j = 2t - 3

sub eq 2 into eq 1
2t - 3 + t = 30...combine like terms
3t - 3 = 30...add 3 to both sides
3t = 30 + 3
3t = 33...divide both sides by 3
t = 33/3
t = 11 <=== Tritt is 11

j = 2t - 3
j = 2(11) - 3
j = 22 - 3
j = 19 <== Jan is 19

A coin contains 1.25 grams of nickel and 3.75 grams of copper, for a total weight of 5 grams. What percentage of the metal in th
otez555 [7]
So,

To find the percentage that the copper comprises, just divide the amount of copper by the total amount of metal in the coin.  In this case, we will change the denominator so that it is 100, which can easily be converted into a percentage, which is really just a fraction out of 100.

\frac{3.75}{5} = \frac{7.50}{10} = \frac{75}{100}

75%

75% of the metal in the coin is copper.
