X = mary's shells
g = 1 1/4x + 5
n = 1 1/2x+ 1
g = n

1 1/4x + 5 = 1 1/2x + 1
5/4x + 5 = 3/2x + 1...multiply by common denominator of 4, this will get rid of fractions...however, this is optional...u can work with fractions if u wish.
5x + 20 = 6x + 4
5x - 6x = 4 - 20
-x = - 16
x = 16....so Mary has 16 shells

If postage costs $.54 for the first ounce and $.22 for the each additional ounce, calculate the cost of mailing a 10- ounce enve
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Hence, the total cost of mailing 10 ounces is:

$ 2.52

Step-by-step explanation:

If postage costs $.54 for the first ounce and $.22 for the each additional ounce.

i.e. cost of first ounce=$ 0.54.

Now let x denote the number of ounces after the first ounce,

Hence, the cost of x ounces=$ (0.22×x)=$ 0.22 x

Hence, the cost of mailing (x+1) ounces is: $ (0.54+0.22 x)

Now, we have to find the cost of  mailing a 10- ounce envelope.

i.e. after the first ounce we need 9 more ounces.

Hence, the total cost of mailing is calculated as:

=$ (0.54+0.22\times 9)\\\\=$ (0.54+1.98)\\\\=$ 2.52\\

Hence, cost of mailing 10 ounces is:

$ 2.52

Kristian buys a meal for $8.40 calculate the fraction of the $72 after buying the computer game which costed $32.40 and the meal
brilliants [131]

Answer:

After buying the meal and the computer game, Kristian has 43.33% of his money left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Kristian buys a meal for $ 8.40, to calculate the fraction of the $ 72 after buying the computer game which cost $ 32.40 and the meal, the following calculation must be performed:

72 = 100

8.40 + 32.40 = X

72 = 100

40.80 = X

40.80 x 100/72 = X

4,080 / 72 = X

56.66 = X

100 - 56.66 = 43,333

Therefore, after buying the meal and the computer game, Kristian has 43.33% of his money left.
