Abel and Cedric will share a total of $180. Abel will receive half as much as Cedric. What amount. in dollars, will Cedric recei
1 answer:
Answer:
Abel receives $60, and Cedric receives $120
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Abel's share = A
Let Cedric's share = C
we are given the following
A + C = 180 - - - - - (1) (Abel and Cedric will share a total of $180)
(Abel will receive half as much as Cedric. )
from equation 2:
putting this value of C in eqn (3) into eqn (1)
A + (2A) = 180
3A = 180
∴ A = 180 ÷ 3 = 60
to find C, let us replace the value of A in eqn (3) with 60
C = 2A - - - - (3)
C = 2 × 60
C = 120
Therefore, Abel receives $60, and Cedric receives $120

Answer:
N(AUC∩B') = 121
The number of students that like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups or Snickers, but not Twix is 121
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A represent snickers, B represent Twix and C represent Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
Given;
N(A) = 150
N(B) = 204
N(C) = 206
N(A∩B) = 75
N(A∩C) = 100
N(B∩C) = 98
N(A∩B∩C) = 38
N(Total) = 500
How many students like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups or Snickers, but not Twix;
N(AUC∩B')
This can be derived by first finding;
N(AUC) = N(A) + N(C) - N(A∩C)
N(AUC) = 150+206-100 = 256
Also,
N(A∩B U B∩C) = N(A∩B) + N(B∩C) - N(A∩B∩C) = 75 + 98 - 38 = 135
N(AUC∩B') = N(AUC) - N(A∩B U B∩C) = 256-135 = 121
N(AUC∩B') = 121
The number of students that like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups or Snickers, but not Twix is 121
