Adam and his dad share the cost of the meal in the ratio of 2:3. Adam’s dad pays £52.20. What is the total cost of the meal

1 answer:

6 0

We have to calculate the total cost of the meal. We know that Adam ( A ) and his dad ( D ) share the cost of the meal in the ratio 2 : 3 and that Adam`s dad pays 52.20 Pounds. So A : D = 2 : 3; A : 52.20 = 2 : 3. Using the cross products, A * 3 = 2 * 52.20; A * 3 = 104.40; A = 104.40 : 3; A = 34.80 Pounds. Finally, A + D = 34.80 + 52.20 = 87.00. Answer: The total cost of the meal is 87 Pounds<span>. </span>

Product of two polynomials can be done by distribution of multiplication over addition. The product of $(4x -3)(2x^2 -7x + 1)$ is $8x^3 - 34x^2 + 25x - 3$

<h3>What is distributive property of multiplication over addition?</h3>

Suppose a, b and c are three numbers. Then we have:

$a(b + c) = a\times b + a\times c$

(a(b+c) means a multiplied to (b+c). The sign of multiplication is usually hidden when using symbols and both quantities which are in multiplication are written together without space)

The product result of the given expression is obtained as:

$(4x -3)(2x^2 -7x + 1) = 4x(2x^2 - 7x + 1) -3(2x^2 - 7x + 1)\\(4x -3)(2x^2 -7x + 1) = 8x^{1 + 2} - 28x^2 + 4x - 6x^2 + 21x - 3\\(4x -3)(2x^2 -7x + 1) = 8x^3 + (-28-6)x^2 + (4 + 21)x - 3\\(4x -3)(2x^2 -7x + 1) = 8x^3 - 34x^2 + 25x - 3$
