If Mary spent half of her allowance the equation will begin with 1/2x or 0.5x where x is her allowance and 0.5 is half of her allowance spent. Mary also earned 7 dollars by washing the car so this will be added to her allowance spent.
The problem says that after Mary has spent half of her allowance at the movies she was left with 18 dollars so that means that the equation must be equal to 18.
The equation you want to set up is
0.5x+7=18
Where, 18-7=11
0.5x=11
11/.5 = x
x = $22
Thus, Mary has a weekly allowance of 22 dollars.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First you want to understand that every time a radio wave goes 300,000,000 meters a second passes, literally what meter per second means. of course it doesn't go that far, it goes 384,000 one way and then the same distance back, which makes 768,000. Under a third of the distance to make 1 second, so it will be less than one second.
You also want to understand the formula for speed. speed = distance / time. Whch also means, to find time you can change it to be time = distance / speed. And hey, we have distance and speed. 768,000 / 300,000,000 = .00256, I'll leave the significant figures to you unless you need help with them. but that's .00256 of a second. or .00256 s
