Y=1/3x+c as 1/3 is the gradient/slope
Plug in the coordinates into the equation
-2= 1/3*(1) +c
C=-2-1/3
C=-7/3
Y= 1/3x-7/3
Answer:
150 pennies were lost altogether
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the initial number of pennies owned by Dante be x pennies
Let the initial number of pennies owned by Mia be y pennies
Mathematically ;
x + y = 350 •••••••(i)
So after losing half, dante will have x/2 pennies left.
Mia lost 1/3 so she will have 2/3y left
So after all the losses, they both had equal amount of pennies
This means that;
x/2 = 2y/3
Cross multiply;
3x = 4y •••••••(ii)
Let’s solve both equations simultaneously;
From i , x = 350-y
Substitute this into equation ii
3(350-y) = 4y
1050-3y = 4y
7y = 1050
y = 1050/7
y = 150
since x = 350-y
x = 350-150 = 200
Now Dante loss x/2 = 200/2 = 100
Mia lost 1/3y = 1/3 * 150 = 50
Total pennies lost = 100 + 50 = 150
Answer:
Translate from words to mathematical equation.
"n is m% of what?"
m% = m/100
what = a variable ... "x". for example.
"is" means "="
"of" means multiply
n = (m/100)•x
It is in decimal form, can you give a little more feedback as to what you are applying?
