I'll use t for the messages Teresa sent, e for messages Eric sent, and r for messages Ryan sent.
Therefore we have, t+e+r=99.
From the text we also know:
e=3r ; r=t+6
If we substitute in the original equation we get:
t+3(t+6)+t+6=99; By simplifying it we get
5t=75 , therefore t=75/5=15.
Since Teresa send 15 messages,Ryan sent 6 more then here, so he send 21. Eric sent three times the
messages Ryan sent so he sent 63 messages. If we add them together 15+21+63, we get the total of 99 messages.
The answer is A. 21.6 just add, 9.2+0.5+6+5.9=21.6
I hope this helps!
Answer: Stellas rate per minute is 30 words per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:
$43.20
Explanation:
The formula we have is
c = p(1+r), where c is the total cost, p is the price of the item before tax, and r is the tax rate written as a decimal. This formula comes from the fact that adding a percent tax to the cost of an item takes 100% of the price and adds r% to it; this is why we multiply the price by (1+r).
Since our tax rate is 8%, r = 8% = 8/100 = 0.08. The price of the item is $40. Using this information, we have:
c = 40(1.08) = $43.20
