Answer:
$110
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a, b, and c represent the earnings of Alan, Bob, and Charles. The problem statement tells us ...
a + b + c = 480 . . . . . . the combined total of their earnings
-a + b = 40 . . . . . . . . . . Bob earned 40 more than Alan
2a - c = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . Charles earned twice as much as Alan
Adding the first and third equations, we get ...
(a + b + c) + (2a - c) = (480) + (0)
3a + b = 480
Subtracting the second equation gives ...
(3a +b) - (-a +b) = (480) -(40)
4a = 440 . . . . . . . . simplify
a = 110 . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of a
Alan earned $110.

Bob earned $40 more, so $150. Charles earned twice as much, so $220.
The total is then $110 +150 +220 = $480 . . . . as required
Answer:
Current price index number = 455
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Current cost of gasoline = $2.58 per gallon
1975 price of gasoline = 56.7 Cents = 56.7 / 100 = $0.567 per gallon
Find:
Current price index number = ?
Computation:
Current price index number = (Current cost / Reference cost) 100
Current price index number = ($2.58 / $0.567)100
Current price index number = (4.55)100
Current price index number = 455
.33 because the 2 needs to round up hecause there is a number greater than 5 after it
To find the sales price of the DVD, you would multiply the price and sale percent to get the sale price.
You would need to turn 20% into a decimal to multiply it with 9, so you would move the decimal place two times to the left: From 20. to→ .20
In this case: 9 × .20 = 1.8
Then you would subract the sub price by the sales price
9 - 1.8 = 7.2
The sales price of the DVD would be $7.20
