Answer:

Mary has £20 and Tom has £16

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent their current respective money amounts by m and t.

Then m + t = £36, but also m/2 + 2t = £42.

Multiplying the second equation by 2 removes the fraction:

m + 4t = £84

and multiplying this by -1 results in

-m - 4t = -£84, which can now be added to the first equation m + t = £36:

-m - 4t = -£84

+m +  t  = £36

---------------------

       -3t =  -£48

We have successfully eliminated m.  To solve this last result for t, divide both sides by -3, obtaining t = £16

Since m + t  = £36 and t = £16, m must be £20.

Mary has £20 and Tom has £16

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

83.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Joey's current grade can be determined by weighting his scores with the weights given and adding the results

Tests = 0.6 x 82 = 49.2

Quizzes = 0.25 x 77 = 19.25

homework = 0.15 x 98 = 14.7

49.2 + 19.25 + 14.7 = 83.15

Pani-rosa [81]

The correct answer is option A which is the pattern {prime, prime, prime, composite, prime, prime} is followed by 1, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13.

<h3>What are prime and composite numbers?</h3>

Prime numbers:-

The prime number is defined as the number which is divided by 1 and itself.

Composite numbers:-

The number is defined as the composite number when the number is divided by 1 itself and any other numbers also.

From the given options we need to choose the pattern of the series { prime, prime, prime, composite, prime, prime } so we can see that in option A correct pattern is followed.

Pattern { 1, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 }

1   → prime

5  → prime

7  → prime

9  → composite

11  → prime

13 → prime

Therefore the correct answer is option A which is the pattern {prime, prime, prime, composite, prime, prime} is followed by 1, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13.
