your mother gave you 13.32 with which to buy a present this covered 3/5 of the cost. how much did the present cost?

2 answers:

6 0

This a proportion. The 13.32 is 3/5 the cost so what you'd write first is
13.32=3
 x 5. Now solve by first multiplying 13.32 by 5 and you get 66.6, and 3 times x. Now you have 66.6=3x. Now divide everything by 3 and you'll get x=22.2. The total is $22.20

13.32 = 3/5
1/5 = 13.32 / 3
1/5 = 4.44
Full cost = 4.44 * 5
= 22.20

Mary and Jane have $48 to share in the ratio 3:5. How much did each girl 2 points

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Mary- $18

Jane- $30

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the numbers in the ratio together to get 8, and multiply 8 by the variable of x. Divide the total amount of money that both girls earned by 8. You will get x=6. Multiply 6 by 3 to get the amount of money Mary earned, which is 18, and multiply 6 by 5 to get the amount of money Jane earned, which is 30.

x(3+5) = $48

3x + 5x = $48

8x = $48

8x/8 = $48/8

x = $6

3($6):5($6) = $18:$30
