Question

Mary-Ann has $28, which is 2 1 3 as much money as Lola has. How much money does Lola have?

Answer 1

Answer:

The amount that Lola has is $12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----the amount that Lola has

we know that

Two One-third multiplied by the amount that Lola has is equal to $28

so

$(2\frac{1}{3})x=28$

Convert mixed number to n improper fraction

$2\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2*3+1}{3}=\frac{7}{3}$

substitute

$\frac{7}{3}x=28$

Solve for x

$x=28(3)/7\\x=\ 12$

Answer 2

Lola has $12

Further explanation

Let's learn about the basic formula about Profit and Loss

$\texttt{Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price}$

$\texttt{Selling Price = Cost Price ( 100\% + Profit\% )}$

$\texttt{Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price}$

$\texttt{Selling Price = Cost Price ( 100\% - Loss\% )}$

Let us tackle the problem !

Mary-Ann has $28, which is 2¹/₃ as much money as Lola has.

$(\texttt{Mary - Ann's Money}) = 2 \frac{1}{3} \times (\texttt{Lola's Money})$

$\ 28 = 2 \frac{1}{3} \times (\texttt{Lola's Money})$

$(\texttt{Lola's Money}) = \ 28 \div 2 \frac{1}{3}$

$(\texttt{Lola's Money}) = \ 28 \div \frac{7}{3}$

$(\texttt{Lola's Money}) = \ 28 \times \frac{3}{7}$

$(\texttt{Lola's Money}) = \ 28 \times 3 \div 7$

$(\texttt{Lola's Money}) = \ 84 \div 7$

$(\texttt{Lola's Money}) = \ 12$
