Answer:
27, 30, 33
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Sam has fewer number of baseball cards than Jill who has 36 baseball cards and can arrange all his cards in only three ways, the possible number of baseball cards that Sam could have is 27, 30 or 33.
If he has 27 baseball cards, he can arrange 9 baseball cards per row in 3 rows
If he has 30 baseball cards, he can arrange 10 baseball cards per row in 3 rows
If he has 33 baseball cards, he can arrange 11 baseball cards per row in 3 rows
Answer:
for the first one, x + 3 * y = 5
and the second equation, x - y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
the sum of two numbers means for example the sum of 5 and 8 is 13, so as an equation that is 5 + 8 = 13
the difference is the same thing as the sum but it's subtraction.
and then times is just multiplication.
I'm assuming the 59% achievement means, markup, so hmmmm well, if the bananas cost him $0.24 or 24cents per pound, so a markup of 59% is just 59% of 0.24 then.
whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.
therefore, 59% of 0.24 is just (59/100) * 0.24, or 0.1416.
so, if we add 0.1416 to the 0.24, the selling price will be 0.3816, or just 38cents per pound of bananas.
Answer:
64 ivy stems
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem we can use rule of three:
Firstly we had 72 ivy stems to use in 18 centerpieces, and know we have 16 centerpieces and want to know how many ivy stems we need to use, so:
18 centerpieces -> 72 ivy stems
16 centerpieces -> X ivy stems
18/16 = 72/X
X = 16*72/18 = 64
He needs to use now 64 ivy stems to maintain the ratio.
