Let's give the variable that you are trying to answer for a symbol. Let's call it X.

X = the amount of money both Greg and Thomas had in October

We know that in November, Greg added $120 to his account. So, Greg's account has: X + 120

We know that Thomas increased the money in his account by 20%, so Thomas' account has: X + 0.2X, or 1.2X

We know that these two amounts are equal:
X + 120 = 1.2X

Solve for X:
X + 120 - X = 1.2X - X
120 = .2X
120 / .2 = .2X / .2
600 = X

The length of a board is 2 5/8 feet long. If 5/6 of a foot is trimmed off, find the new length
nalin [4]

Answer:

New length is 3 3/20 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total board is 2 5/8 feet long. And since 5/6 of a foot is trimmed off, that means each piece of wood is 5/6 feet.

We can now set up an equation like this ---> 5/6 ⋅ x = 2 5/8

Now we're going to simplify --->  5/6 ⋅ x = 2 5/8

                                                      5/6 ⋅ x = 21/8              

                                                      (multiply both sides by 6)

                                                      5x = 63/4

                                                      (divide both sides by 5)

                                                      x = 63/20

                                                      x= 3.15

So, the new length is 3.15 feet long, or 3 3/20 in mixed fraction.
