(53 + 12) / 77 = 0.84
65/77 = 0.84
0.84 = 0.84 (correct)

so u would have to add 12

Charlie paid 660 for 6 shirts and four belts. One shirt costs three times as much as one belt. If Sam bought 5 shirts and 2 suck

Cerrena [4.2K]

Sam would have to pay $510 to buy 5 shirts and 2 suck belts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Cost of one shirt = x

Cost of one belt = y

According to given statement;

6x+4y = 660 Eqn 1

x = 3y Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

$6(3y)+4y=660\\18y+4y=660\\22y=660$

Dividing both sides by 22

$\frac{22y}{22}=\frac{660}{22}\\y=30$

Putting y=30 in Eqn 2

$x=3(30)\\x=90$

One shirt costs $90 and one belt cost $30.

Price of 5 shirts = 90*5 = $450

Price of 2 belts = 30*2 = $60

Total = 450+60 = $510

Sam would have to pay $510 to buy 5 shirts and 2 suck belts.

5. As two boats are coming to the end of a race, a top view of their positions is

Dafna1 [17]

The distance of the boat on the right to the finish line is 297.29 m and the distance of the boat on the left to the finish is 294.11 m, so the boat on the left will reach the finish line faster.

<h3>How do you know which boat will reach the finish line faster? </h3>

The image shows two triangles of which we know an angle and the value of the opposite leg. Therefore, we can perform a mathematical operation to know the value of the hypotenuse of these triangles, which would be the distance of the boats to the goal as shown below.

h = hypotenuse

Right Boat

Sen 22° = $\frac{110 m}{h}$

h = $\frac{110 m}{ Sin 22}$

h = $\frac{110 m}{0.37}$

h = 297,29 m

Left boat

Sen 20° = $\frac{100}{h}$

h = $\frac{|00 m}{ Sin 20}$

h = $\frac{100 m}{0.34}$

h = 294,11 m

According to the above, the distance of the boat on the left is less, so it can be inferred that this boat will reach the finish line faster.
