Let x be equal to the number of drinks Yasmine consumed.
Jose had 2 times that drink so his number of consumed drink would be represented by 2x.
Sally had 3 fewer drink than Jose so her number of consumed drinks would be represented by 2x-3.
Altogether, the three of them consumed 72 drinks so your equation would be:
x+2x+(2x-3)=72
add like terms together:
5x-3=72
have the term with x be alone on one side of the equation, in this case by adding three to both sides:
5x=75
now divide both sides by five for the value of x and your answer is.....
x=15
2 x 230 = 231
I’m not 100% sure if this is correct?? Hope it helps though
To solve this, we need to know how to find the mean of a set of data and how to find the median of a set of data.
To find the mean, or often called the average, we should add all of the values up, and then divide it by the number of values.
588+838+691+818+846+725+605+732+750 = 6593
6593/9=732.556
The problem tells us we should round to the nearest point, so our mean credit score is 733.
To find the median, we need to order the data from lowest to highest and find out which credit score(s) are right in the middle. If there are 2 in the middle, we simply should add them and divide by 2 to get our median. An easy way to do this is after you order them, you simply cross off one on each side until there is only 1 (or 2) left.
588 605 691 725 732 750 818 838 846
605 691 725 732 750 818 838
691 725 732 750 818
725 732 750
732
Since we only have one number in the middle, we are done with the median! We know our median is 732.
Now we simply need to compare them and subtract the lower one from the higher one.
Mean:733
Median: 732
733>732
We know the mean is bigger, so we should subtract the median from the mean.
733=732=1
Using the logic above, we can see that the mean is 1 point higher than the median.
Convert 3 1/3 into a improper fraction:
= 10/3
Then flip the other fraction around and multiply them together:
1/3 -> 3/1
(10*3)/(3*1) = 30/3 = (30/3)/(3/3) = 10/1 = 10
The answer is 10
Profit for August: x
Profit for September: x - 22%x
Total Profit for August & September: $689,000
x + x - 22% x = 689,000
2x - .22x = 689,000
1.78x = 689,000
x = 689,000/1.78
x = 387,078.65
August Profits: $387,078.65
September Profits: 387,078.65 - (22%)(387,078.65) = 387,078.65 - 85,157.30 = 301,921.35
August Profits: $387,078.65
September Profits
$301,921.35
