To solve this problem, we can set up proportion, which is two equivalent ratios. In this case, we are using the ratio of A to B to figure out the amount that B pays using our value for A. We are allowing x to represent the unknown value for the B payment. This is modeled below:

3/2 = £125/x

To simplify, we can perform cross-multiplication. This means multiplying the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other and setting it equal to the product of the other numerator and denominator. This is modeled below:

(125)(2) = (3)(x)

Next, we can simplify the equation by performing the multiplication on both sides of the equation.

250 = 3x

Finally, we should divide both sides by 3 to get our unknown variable x alone on the right side of the equation.

x = 83.33

Therefore, B costs £83.33.

Hope this helps!

Hello!
3 + 2 = 5
125 divided by 5 = 25
25 x 3:2 = 2
25 x 2 = 50

Pls help with this question
andre [41]

Answer:

x<56

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the dot over 56 isn't filled in, the inequality doesn't include 56 (so we'll use < or > not \leq or \geq)

Now, let's look at the direction of the shading: is it going to the left of 56 or to the right?

This shading is to the left of 56, which indicates that it's all of the numbers less than 56.

As said above, the inequality doesn't include 56

therefore, it will be x<56 (x is less than 56, and 56 is not included)

hope this helps!
