Set x equal to the amount of money Kim gets, and y for Molly's money.
x = 2/5y, since the ratio is 2:5.
y = 105 + x, since Molly has 105 more pounds than Kim.
Substitute x into this equation, so that y = 105 + 2/5y. Subtract 2/5y from both sides to get 3/5y = 105. Divide each side by 0.6 (equivalent to 3/5) and you get y = 175, which is how much Molly has. Kim gets 2/5 of Molly's share (or 105 fewer pounds), so she has 70.
70 + 175 (Kim and Molly's shares) is equal to 245. Therefore, Laura receives the remaining 140 pounds.
140/385 = a/100
Cross multiply so that 385a is 14000. Divide by 385 to get 36.4 (rounded).
Thus, Laura receives about 36.4% of the total money. Hope this helps (:

Answer:
surface area of the smaller figure ≈ 1474.64 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
The figures are similar base on the question . The surface area and the volume of the larger figure is given while only the figure of the smaller figure is given.
To find the surface area of the smaller figure we simply use the ratios. That is the scale factors.
Therefore, they are similar figure the scale factor can be represented as a:b.
The scale factor for volume is cubed.
volume of larger figure/volume of the small figure = a³/b³
4536/2625 = a³/b³
a/b = 16.5535451/13.7946209
Note that for two similar solid with scale factor a:b the surface area ratio is a²: b² (the scale factor is square)
16.55²/13.79² = 2124/x
273.9025/190.1641 = 2124/x
cross multiply
273.9025x = 403908.54840
x = 403908.54840/273.9025
x = 1474.6435261
x ≈ 1474.64 m²
