There's a key problem in this question compelling you to actually rewrite it like that! Mathematically that is inaccurate and incorrect. If you do 72(8+19) it seems as if you are going to do 8+19*72 as in algebra whatever is outside the bracket is bound to go multiplied so technically (8+19)+72 would make more sense and the answer is
Using bidmas do the brackets first
8+19= 27
27+72=99
Let Mary Sue have m necklaces and Betty have b necklaces.
And they have 603 necklaces altogether, that is
m + b =603
And Mary Sue has 115 more necklaces than Betty, that is
m=b +115
Substituting this value in first equation we will get
b+115+b=603
Subtracting 115
2b= 488
b= 244
So Betty have 244 necklaces .
Answer:
Ex: $12 is dollars .25 would be cents = $12.25
Step-by-step explanation:
10 y plus 9 y minus 6 y plus 6 y
=> 10y + 9y - 6y + 6y
= 10y + 9y - 0 = 19y
