Let total amount spent =x
Dita spent 35 % of total amount.
35% of x = 0.35x
So amount spent by Dita = 0.35x
% of money spent by Benton = 20 % of x = 0.2x
We are given that Benton spent $12 more than Claire,
so making equation we have ,
Money spent by Dita = Money spent by Claire +12



x=80
So total amount spent was $80.
Money spent by Benton = 0.2x = 0.2 * 80= $16
So amount spent by Benton is $16.

Answer:
10 and 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the prime factorization of 10
10 = 2 × 5
Find the prime factorization of 40
40 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
Multiply each factor the greater number of times it occurs to find the LCM:
LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
LCM=40
If it is 5ft a minute then it must be 10ft every two minutes
Answer:
4x - 3y = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3x - 1/2y = 6
Multiply each side by 6 to get rid of the fractions
6* (2/3x - 1/2y) = 6*6
Distribute the 6
12/3 x - 6/2y = 36
4x -3y = 36
