Answer:

lacy = 8 jack= 24

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be lacys age

3x - 3 + x-3 = 14

3x+x -3 = 14 + 3 = 17

4x = 17 +3 = 20

x = 20/4 = 5

lacys age now = 5+3 = 8

jacks age now = 8 * 3 = 24

If the Williams family has a monthly income of $3000 how much do they spend on clothing and entertainment
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
$360

To solve this, multiply 3000 by 12%.

3000 x 12%

To convert percentages to decimals, divide them by 100 and remove the % sign.
So... 12% = 0.12

= 3000 x 0.12
= 360
