Let the original number be ‘x’
Then half of that number= 1/2x or simply x/2
Similarly one fifth of that number = x/5
According to the question
x+x/2+x/5=51
Taking LCM
10x/10+2x/10+5x/10=51
Multiplying 10 throughout
10x+2x+5x=510
17x=510
x=510/17
Therefore x=30

Use the multiplier 1.055

final = original x multiplier^n

where 'n' is the number of years

Sub the values in

final = 700 x 1.055^7

final = 1018.27

Subtract the values:

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Well if you think about it, if she has a total of 10 attempts she has to make 8 of them to make it on the team. Now the total attempts is double so we double the number of throws she needs to make in order to make the team so to do this we would do 8*2 which is 16. She needs to make 16 throws to make it on the team.
