Betty saves $161 a month. She saves $141 less each month than Jack. How much will jack save in 2 years?

tresset_1 [31]

Given that Betty saves $161 per month which is $141 less than Jack per month. find the amount that Jack will save in 2 years.

First, find how much Jack saves. We can do this buy adding 141 to 161 since Betty saves 141 less meaning we can reverse it by adding it.

141 + 161 = 302

Now, that we know how much Jack saves per month.

Then, we have to find out how many months are in 2 years.

We already know that there is 12 months in a year, so for 2 years, we can simply multiply by 2.

12 x 2 = 24

Therefore, there are 24 months in two years.

Lastly, multiply 24 months by the amount that Jack saves to get the amount in total.

24 x 302 = 7,248

Thus, Jack will save approximately $7,248 in 2 years.

30 years ago zoe was 2/3 as old as luke, 18 years ago zoe was 5/6 as old as luke how old are they now

barxatty [35]

Based on the mathematical statements, Zoe is 56 years old and Luke is 66 years old, now

<h3>How to determine how old they are now?</h3>

From the question, we have the following statements that can be used in our computation:

<u>30 years ago</u>

Zoe was 2/3 as old as Luke

<u>18 years ago</u>

Zoe was 5/6 as old as Luke

Let their present ages be represented as

Zoe = x

Luke = y

So, we have the following representations

<u>30 years ago</u>

Zoe was 2/3 as old as Luke

x - 36 = 2/3(y - 36)

<u>18 years ago</u>

Zoe was 5/6 as old as Luke

x - 18 = 5/6(y - 18)

So, we have the following system of equations

x - 36 = 2/3(y - 36)

x - 18 = 5/6(y - 18)

Make x the subject in x - 18 = 5/6(y - 18)

x = 5/6(y - 18) + 16

Substitute x = 5/6(y - 18) + 16 in x - 36 = 2/3(y - 36)

5/6(y - 18) + 16 - 36 = 2/3(y - 36)

Open the brackets

5/6y - 15 + 16 - 36 = 2/3y - 24

Evaluate the like terms

5/6y - 35 = 2/3y - 24

Multiply through by 6

5y - 210 = 4y - 144

Evaluate the like terms

y = 66

Substitute y = 66 in x = 5/6(y - 18) + 16

x = 5/6(66 - 18) + 16

Evaluate

x = 56

Recall that

Zoe = x

Luke = y

So, we have

Zoe = x = 56

Luke = y = 66

Hence, they are 56 and 66 years, now
