*Given
Money of Phoebe - 3 times as much as Andy
Money of Andy - 2 times as much as Polly
Total money of Phoebe, - £270
Andy and Polly
*Solution
Let
B - Phoebe's money
A - Andy's money
L - Polly's money
1. The money of the Phoebe, Andy, and Polly, when added together would total £270. Thus,
B + A + L = £270 (EQUATION 1)
2. Phoebe has three times as much money as Andy and this is expressed as
B = 3A
3. Andy has twice as much money as Polly and this is expressed as
A = 2L (EQUATION 2)
4. This means that Phoebe has ____ as much money as Polly,
B = 3A
B = 3 x (2L)
B = 6L (EQUATION 3)
This step allows us to eliminate the variables B and A in EQUATION 1 by expressing the equation in terms of Polly's money only.
5. Substituting B with 6L, and A with 2L, EQUATION 1 becomes,
6L + 2L + L = £270
9L = £270
L = £30
So, Polly has £30.
6. Substituting L into EQUATIONS 2 and 3 would give us the values for Andy's money and Phoebe's money, respectively.
A = 2L
A = 2(£30)
A = £60
Andy has £60
B = 6L
B = 6(£30)
B = £180
Phoebe has £180
Therefore, Polly's money is £30, Andy's is £60, and Phoebe's is £180.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle BCA is inscribed in that circle. The rule is that the inscribed angle is half the measure of the arc it intercepts. The arc it intercepts is arc AB which measures 96 degrees. That means that
and
4x + 4 = 48 and
4x = 44 so
x = 11
Choice A is the one you want.
The probability that the major of one student that is selected at random is engineering can be calculated by the total number of engineering major divided by the total number of students
p = engineering / total students
p = 300 / ( 300 + 700 + 500)
p = 0.2 is the probability of the major of one student is engineering
Answer:
The answer is -4/3 or -1 1/3
