Comedians Marjorie Main and Percy Kilbride star in the 1951 movie Ma and Pa Kettle Back on the Farm. Given the task of dividing

25% of an amount of money equally between five people, Ma and Pa claim that each individual will receive 14% of the money. Ma and Pa demonstrate in three ways that 5 times 14 equals 25. Method 1: Pa divides 25 by 5 and gets 14. Method 2: Ma multiplies 5*4 and gets 20. Shen then multiples 5*1 and gets 5. Adding the two together, she gets 25. Method 3: Checking by addition - Billy adds all the 4’ s are together to get 20, then Pa adds all the 1’s to the end and gets 25. Question 1: Did Ma and Pa use math to come up with their answers? Then why didn’t they get the right answer? Question 2: Can you think of another way Billy could explain the math ( correctly) to Ma and Pa? Question 3: What is the most important thing you learned from watching this video?

I’m confused on this one

Greetings!

The formula for the area of any triangle is as followed:

A_{triangle}=\frac{bh}{2}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>Let Statements:</u>

Let the variable...

→ b represent the length of the base of the triangle

→ h represent the length of the height of the triangle

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Using the information provided from the question, we can substitute its values in place of the variables and solve for the last remaining variable:

10=\frac{(4)(x+3)}{2}

Distribute the parenthesis<em> (The Distributive Property) </em>:

10=\frac{((4)(x)+(4)(3))}{2}

10=\frac{4x+12}{2}

Reduce the fraction to lowest terms:

10=2x+6

Add -6 to both sides of the equation:

(10)+(-6)=(2x+6)+(-6)

4=2x

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

\frac{4}{2}=\frac{2x}{2}

2=x

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Answer to this Problem is:

\boxed{x=2}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope this helped!

what is the value after 7 years of a car that originally costs $25,000 rate if it depreciates at a rate of 8% per year ?round yo
12345 [234]

The value of the car after 7 years of depreciation is $13,946.

In order to solve this question you need to start out with the original cost of the car and then subtract 8% of the current value each year.

After each year is the 8% depreciate amount and then the value of the car at the end of that year:

1 - $25,000 x 8% = $2,000. - $25,000 - $2,000 = $23,000

2 - $23,000 x 8% = $1,840. - $23,000 - $1,840 = $21,160

3 - $21,160 x 8% = $1,692.80. - $21,160 - $1,692.80 = $19,467.20

4 - $19,467.20 x 8% = $1,557.38. - $19,467.20 - $1,557.38 = $17,909.82

5 - $17,909.82 x 8% = $1,432.79 - $17,909.82 - $1,432.79 = $16,477.03

6 - $16,477.03 x 8% = $1,318.16. - $16,477.03 - $1,318.16 = $15,158.87

7 - $15,158.87 x 8% = $1,212.71. - $15,158.87 - $1,212.71 = $13,946.16
