The problem statement gives a relation between the amount removed from one bag and the amount removed from the other. It asks for the amount remaining in each bag. Thus, there are several choices for variables in this problem, some choices resulting in more complicated equations than others.

Let's do it this way: let x represent the amount remaining in bag 1. Then the amount removed from bag 1 is (100-x). The amount remaining in bag 2 is 2x, so the amount removed from that bag is (100-2x). The problem statement tells us the relationship between amounts removed:

... (100 -x) = 3(100 -2x)

... 100 -x -3(100 -2x) = 0 . . . . . . subtract the right side

... 5x -200 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses and collect terms

... x -40 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 5

... x = 40 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 40

  • 40 kg is left in the first bag
  • 80 kg is left in the second bag

_____

<u>Check</u>

The amount removed from the first bag is 60 kg. The amount removed from the second is 20 kg. The amount removed from the first bag is 3 times the amount removed from the second bag, as described.

Lisa's store collects 5% sales tax on every item sold if if she caused if she collected $22. In sales tax what was the cost of t
Advocard [28]
Im assuming the question is asking: if she collected $22 in sales tax what was the cost of the items her store sold.  you should make sure you type the question correctly otherwise it'll be hard to answer.

going with my assumption of what the question is, we want to find the total cost of all items her story sold.  let that cost be c. since there is 5% sales tax on everything and we know the sales tax is worth $22,m we have:

5%(c) = 22
dividing both sides by 5% (or .05) gives:
c = $440

Make a conjecture about the next item in the sequence 1, -4, 9, -16
Snezhnost [94]
To get -4 from 1, we must either subtract 5 from 1 or mult. 1 by -4.  Unfortunately subtracting 5 from -4 does not result in 9, and mult -4 by -4 does not result in -16.  So neither "works"  in predicting the next term.

Can you think of any other experiments to do that would help you discover the pattern 1, -4, 9, -16?
