Answer:

Max is currently 12 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Zeke's current age = 8 years

Lets take Max's current age as x years.

Then Max's age 3 years ago = x-3

Double Max's age 3 years ago = 2*(x-3)

Double Max's age 3 years ago + Zee's current age = 26

⇒ 2*(x-3) + 8 = 26

=2*(x-3)+8=26

=2x-6+8=26 (Simplifying the brackets)

=2x+2=26

=2x+2-2=26-22x=24=x=12

So Max's current age is 12 years.

Savatey [412]

Answer

Find out the  what was his total cost .

To prove

As given

A tent was marked up 150% from an original cost of $52.

Last Friday, Ethan bought the tent and paid an additional 10% in sales tax.

Than the equation becomes

150 % is written in the decimal form .

=\frac{150}{100}

= 1.5

10 % is written in the decimal form .

=\frac{10}{100}

= 0.1

cost of the tent when 150% marked up from origianl price = 1.5× 52

                                                                                                = $ 78


cost of the tent = origianl cost + 150% marked up from origianl price

                                  =  $52 + $78

                                  = $ 130

Sales price on the tent = $130 × 0.1

                                      = 13

Total cost of the tent = $130 + $13

                                  = $143

Therefore the cost of the tent is $143.

A manufacturer makes ball bearings out of motel steel. it takes 5.24 cubic centimeters of molten steel to make ball bearings tha
katrin2010 [14]

Using volume of ball bearings, a manufacturer makes 10 ball bearings from 5.2 cm³ of molten steel to make ball bearings that each have a diameter of 1 centimeter.

According to the question,

It takes 5.24 cubic centimeters of molten steel to make ball bearings that each have a diameter of 1 centimeter.

Radius = 1/2 = 0.5 cm

volume V of one ball bearing is: V=(4/3)*π*r³

= 4/3 * π * (0.5)³

=0.524 cm³

In order to find number of ball bearings out of molten steel only if we divide the volume of steel by the volume of the ball bearing

5.24/0.524=10.

Hence, using volume of ball bearings, a manufacturer makes 10 ball bearings from 5.2 cm³ of molten steel to make ball bearings that each have a diameter of 1 centimeter.
