Let’s assume that Laura has x$
Jose = 8+ x
Keith= 3x
So the total is equal to
118= x + 8 +x + 3x
118= 5x + 8
Subtract 8 from both sides
110= 5x
Divide 5 by both sides
22$= x which is what Laura has
Jose will have :8+22= 30$
Keith will have :3*22=66$
you can use the number sentence 42/7
C. $34.50. A car gets 30 miles per gallon, if the gasoline cost $1.15 per gallon, a 900 miles trip will cost $34.50
This exercise can be solved by simply arithmetic.
Divide the total miles by the miles per gallon:
900/30 = 30
Then, multiply this value by the cost per gallon:
30 x $1.15 = $34.50
