Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of friends that Monica asked to a charity raffle ticket. If all but 4 of her friends bought a ticket, it means that only 4 of her friends did not buy the charity raffle ticket. Thus, the number of her friends that bought the charity raffle ticket is
x - 4
If each ticket costs $3 and the total amount that was raised is $18, then algebraic expression representing the number of friends that Monica asked is
3(x - 4) = 18
3x - 12 = 18
3x = 18 + 12 = 30
x = 30/3 = 10
Monica asked 10 friends
Answer:6x+36, 5x+5, 10x-9

Answer:
75%
Step-by-step explanation:
15/20 to decimal is 0.75, and 0.75 to percent is 75%
Hope that answers it ;)
If the speed of the stream is x
Time is given by d/r , where r is the rate and d is the distance;
Rate for upstream = (15-x) mph and that of down stream is (15 +x) mph
The time taken will be the same;
Thus; 2/(15-x) = 4/(15+x)
cross multiplying;
30 +2x = 60 -4x
6x = 30
x =5
Therefore the rate of the river is 5 mph
