There are several ways to answer this question and I will use this approach. Since Johnny reads at a ratio of 7:3 it can be stated that for every 10 pages in a book containing 500 pages Johnny will read 7 of those pages. There are 50 groups of 10 in a 500-page book (50 x 10). Take the ration 7:3 times 50 and use the distributive property: 7:3(50) = (7 x 50):(3 x 50) = 350:150. Based on this Johnny has read 350 pages and has 150 pages remaining.
Sn = n/2 (a1+an)
= 8/2 (3-38)
= 4 (-35)
= -140
Answer:
Stacy made £25.2 from the 18 loaves of bread. So She made £5.20 as a profit.
Step-by-step explanation:
18 loaves of bread × £1.4 = £25.2 Round it up = £25
£25.20 - £20 = £5.20 Round it up = £5
Stacy Made about £5 as profit.
For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.
We have then:
x: unknown number
We now write the equation that models the problem:
From here, we clear the value of x.
We multiply both sides of the equation by 2:
We subtract 30 on both sides of the equation:
Answer:
The value of the unknown number is given by:
