Divide the total amount she paid for the shares by the amount of shares she bought:

$2980 \div 20 = 149$

The value of a single share is $149.

Nice and simple. I'll explain it to you, not just give the answer.

Now, 20 shares = 2980, lets make shares = x, which means it turns to

20x = $2980

Now, you'd simply solve for X, which is done by dividing 2980 by 20, which gets you

x = 149 (cost of one share)

If the least common multiple of 2 numbers is 60 and one number is 7 less then the other number what is the answer

Arte-miy333 [17]

Your question is not clear. I must guess what you meant. Did you mean "Find the two numbers?"

If so, let the two numbers be m and n. Then mn=60 and m=n-7.

Then (n-7)(n) = 60, or n^2 -7n - 60 = 0. This factors: (n+5)(n-12) = 0

Thus, n = -5 or n = 12.

check: does mn = 60? Does 12*5 = 60? Yes. Is m (which is 5) 7 less than n (which is 12)? Yes.

Note that you could also check to see whether n=-5 and m=n-7=-5-7=-12 is also a solution.
