Cut each sandwich into pieces of thirds
4 sandwiches x 3 pieces = 12 total pieces
--------------------
12 / 6 = 2
Everybody would get 2 pieces
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount Peter invested at 14%. Then (x-900) is the amount he invested at 6%. His total interest earned is ...
0.14x + 0.06(x -900) = 221
0.20x = 275 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 54, simplify
x = 1375 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 0.2; amount invested at 14%
(x-900) = 475 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . amount invested at 6%
Peter invested $475 in the 6% account and $1375 in the 14% account.
Answer:
multiplying both-side of the equation by 3
substituting 36 for p to check the solution
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the equation p/3 = 12, we will follow the steps below;
first multiply 3 to both-side of the equation, that is:
p/3 × 3 = 12 × 3
On the left-hand side of the equation, 3 at the numerator will cancel-out 3 at the denominator, leaving us with just p while on the right-hand side of the equation 12 will be multiplied by 3
p= 36
To check the correctness of the equation, we can substitute p = 36 back into the equation and then check, that is;
p/3 = 12
36/3 = 12
This implies p = 36 is correct
