leona has three dollars less than skye. together they have 17 dollars. how much money does skye have?

1 answer:

5 0

L has "x -3"
S has "x"

x + x - 3 = 17

2x -3 (+3) = 17 (+3)

2x = 20

2x/2 = 20/2

x = 10

Leona has x - 3, or 10 - 3, or 7 dollars
Skye has 10 dollars

hope this helps

There are 400 candies in the machine.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of red candies in machine = 104

This represents 26% of the total candies.

x be the total candies in the machine.

According to statement;

26% of x = 104

$\frac{26}{100}*x=104\\0.26x=104$

Dividing both sides by 0.26

$\frac{0.26x}{0.26}=\frac{104}{0.26}\\x=400$
