I suck at math but I think he got one and half pounds
"a rise of a quarter from last year" means the percentage went up by 25%
x = old value
x + 25% of x = x + 0.25x = 1.25x = new value = 0.25 since "1 in 4" means 1/4 = 0.25
So,
1.25x = 0.25
x = 0.25/1.25
x = 0.2
x = 2/10
x = 1/5

Equally divide 56 into 2 halves. 28 liters. 28 liters for muffins and 28 liters for cakes.
(muffins require 7 liters) 28÷7= 4
(cakes require 4 liters) 28÷4=7
x= 4 batches of muffins
y= 7 batches of cakes.

Step-by-step explanation:
is there supposed to be a picture with this
Her salary 4 years ago would have been $30,000.
If 45,000 is 15,000 less than double her previous salary, we must first add 15,000 to 45,000 to find what double her salary was.
45,000+15,000=60,000.
Since this is twice her salary, we divide this by 2.
60,000/2= 30,000.
So, her salary 4 years ago would have been $30,000.
I hope this helps!
