Answer:

The price of the computer is $1,152

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the computer be $x

The first boy boy had 7/8 of this amount, the amount he has is thus 7/8 × $x = 7x/8

The second boy had 5/6 of what the first boy had. The amount of money he has is thus 5/6 × 7x/8 = 35x/48

Now, the addition of what they have is $696 more than what they need to pay. This amount is x+ 696

Mathematically, this can be represented as;

7x/8 + 35x/48 = x + 696

(42x + 35x)/48 = (x + 696)

77x/48 = (x + 696)

77x = 48(x + 696)

77x = 48x + 33408

77x - 48x = 33408

29x = 33, 408

x = 33,408/29

x = $1,152

An ice cream factory makes 29 quarts of ice cream in 5 hours. How many quarts could be made in 48 hours ? What was that rate per
Vadim26 [7]

We can easily get the quarts per hour rate by dividing the number of quarts by the number of hours:

\text{29 quarts in 5 hours} \implies \dfrac{29}{5} = 5.8 \text{ quarts in 1 hour}

Now that we have the quarts per hour rate, we can easily address the question: the factory could make

5.8\cdot 48 = 278.4

quarts in 48 hours, with a daily rate of

5.8\cdot 24 = 139.2

quarts per day
