S = sally C = Chris J = Joe
sally is one year older than 3 times the age of joe, so
s = 3j + 1
chris is 5 years younger than 6 times the age of jo, so
c = 6j - 5
sally and chris are the same age so
s = c so
3j + 1 = 6j - 5
-3j -3j
1 = 3j - 5
+5 +5
6 = 3j or
3j = 6
3j/3 = 6/3
j = 2
check
s = c
3(2) +1 = 6(2) - 5
6 + 1 = 12 - 5
7 = 7 correct✅
Answer:
125%
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Set up the equation
425/340 = x/100
(percentages are out of 100 so this equation means 425 out of 340 is equal to a number out of 100)
2. Cross multiply
340x = 42500
3. Solve for x
x = 125
Answer:
$1.99 is more expensive.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
One type of lace edging cost $0.80 per foot
Another type of lace edging cost $1`.99 per foot.
We need to find which is more expensive.
In $0.88 where one's place is 0.
In $1.99 where one's place is 1.
By comparing the one's place obviously $1.99 more expensive.
Hope you will understand the concept.
Thank you.
