Here's how I like to represent this:
Randy = 7
Randy * 2 = Ann
Ann + 3 = Janet
Janet + 5 = Donald
If we go along and fill in the blanks for each equation, we do this:
7 * 2 = 14
14 + 3 = 17
17 + 5 = 22
So Donald solved 22 problems.
Hope this helps!
Because the zero is in both equations but just not written as a zero, there is an invisible zero in 4.73.
3/4 of 20...." of " means multiply

The answer is $19,360 because we multiply the annual interest rate of 6% or .06 by 3.5 years and we get a total interest of .21. The answer is found by performing $16,000 times 1.21 and we get $19,360.
