*Given
Money of Phoebe            - 3 times as much as Andy
Money of Andy                - 2 times as much as Polly
Total money of Phoebe,  - <span>£270
</span>    Andy and Polly

*Solution

Let
B - Phoebe's money
A - Andy's money
L - Polly's money

1. The money of the Phoebe, Andy, and Polly, when added together would total <span>£270. Thus, 
</span>
                  B + A + L  = <span>£270                     (EQUATION 1)

2. Phoebe has three times as much money as Andy and this is expressed as
  
                  B = 3A

3. Andy has twice as much money as Polly and this is expressed as

                  A = 2L</span>                           (EQUATION 2)
<span>
4. This means that Phoebe has ____ as much money as Polly, 

                 B = 3A
                 B = 3 x (2L)
                 B = 6L                            </span>(EQUATION 3)<span>

This step allows us to eliminate the variables B and A in EQUATION 1 by expressing the equation in terms of Polly's money only. 

5. Substituting B with 6L, and A with 2L, EQUATION 1 becomes, 

                  6L + 2L + L = </span><span>£270
</span>                                9L = <span>£270
</span>                                  L = <span>£30

So, Polly has </span><span>£30. 

6. Substituting L into EQUATIONS 2 and 3 would give us the values for Andy's money and Phoebe's money, respectively. 
</span>
                  A = 2L                           
                  A = 2(£30)
                  A = £60

Andy has £60

                  B = 6L                         
                  B = 6(£30)
                  B = £180

Phoebe has £180

Therefore, Polly's money is £30, Andy's is £60, and Phoebe's is £180.

Suppose that fanf g are continuous functions,
shtirl [24]

The required result based on given continuous functions is: 207. See the explanation for same below.

<h3>What are continuous functions?</h3>


A continuous function in mathematics is one in which a continuous variation (that is, a change without a jump) of the argument causes a continuous variation of the function's value.

<h3>What is the calculation for the above solution?</h3>

Since G and F are continuous functions,

\int_{12}^{28}) \, f(x) dx = 19

\int_{12}^{28}) \, f(x) dx = 35

Therefore,

\int_{12}^{28}) \, [K g(x) - 2 f(x)] dx

= K \int_{12}^{28}) \, g(x) dx -2 \int_{12}^{28}) \, f(x) dx

So, given that K = 7, we have

7 x 35 - 2 x 19
= 245 - 38
= 207

Nia answered 80% of the 40 questions on a test correctly. How many correct answers did she have?
Step2247 [10]

Nia answered correct answers = 80% of the 40 questions

When we remove % sign from a number, we divide that number by 100

= \frac{80}{100} of 40

=\frac{80}{100} \times 40

Cancelling the two zeroes from numerator and denominator,

= 8 \times 4

= 32.

Total correct answers answered by Nia = 32
