Captain Sparrow and his pirate crew dug up several gold coins. They are dividing the coins amongst themselves so that each perso

n gets the same number of coins. If there were four fewer pirates, then each person would get 10 more coins. However, if there were 50 fewer coins, then each person would get 5 fewer coins. How many coins did they dig up?

Answer: 150 coins

Step-by-step explanation: let the number of captain Sparrow and the crew = c

The number of gold = g

This mean each person will get g/c

If there were four fewer pirates, then each person would get 10 more coins means

g/(c - 4) = g/ c+ 10

cg = (c-4)(g+10c) ....... (1)

However, if there were 50 fewer coins, then each person would get 5 fewer coins.

(g - 50)/c = g/c - 5

g - 50 = g - 5c

5c = 50

c = 10

Substitute c in equation 1

cg = (c-4)(g+10c) ....... (1)

10g = (10 - 4)(g + 10×10)

10g = 6× (g + 100)

10g = 6g + 600

4g = 600

g = 150 gold coin.

Therefore they dig up 150 gold coin

The supplement of an angle is 80° less than three times the measure of the complement of the angle find the measure of the suppl
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

135

Step-by-step explanation:

The supplement of an angle is 80° less than three times the measure of the complement of the angle find the measure of the supplement of the angle

Two Angles are Supplementary when they add up to 180 degrees.

Two Angles are Complementary when they add up to 90 degrees

Let the angle = x

Supplement of the angle = y

The supplement of an angle is 80° less than three times the measure of the complement of the angle find the measure of the supplement of the angle

x - 180 = 3(x - 90)

x - 180 = 3x - 270

Collect like terms

3x - x = 270 - 180

2x = 90

x = 90/2

x = 45

x+ y = 180

45 + y = 180

y = 180 -45

y = 135

Tell wheter x and y show direct variation. Explain your reasoning. x = 5/8y
inessss [21]
X varies directly as y would be
x= y(\frac{5}{8} )

x vairies inversly as y would be
x= y(\frac{5}{8y} )


not sure if the y is on the bottom or on top from looking at the question

Calculate the time necessary to achieve the investment goal. Give your answer to the nearest day. Use a 365-day year. $2,320 at
Bumek [7]

Answer:

5yrs or 1825 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the total amount of the investment after n-days at 9% is $2,320 and the principal amount invested is $1,600

-Let P be the principal amount, A be the total amount of the investment.

-We calculate the number of days using simple interest formula.

#Calculate the total interest earned on the investment:

I=A-P, \\\\I=2320-1600\\\\=720

Simple interest is calculated using the formula:

I=PRT, T=time, R=interest \ rate , P= Prncipal, I=720\\\\720=1600\times \frac{9}{100}\times T\\\\\frac{720}{144}=T\\\\T=5\ years=5\times 365\ days= 1825\ days

Hence, it takes 1,825 days to achieve your investment goals

You are at a restaurant and your bill comes to $31.18. The sales tax is 6% and you give the waitress a 20 percent tip on the tot
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

$ 0.34   or 34 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Bill amount = $31.18

sales tax = 6%  of $31.18

             =  0.06 ($31.18)

             = $1.8708

Bill with tax = $31.18+$1.8708

                  = $33.0508

value of tip = 20% of 33.0508

                   =  6.61016

Total  payment  = 33.0508+ 6.61016

                           = $39.66096

                          or $39.66

                         We get change of $40 - $39.66

                                                = $ 0.34        

We shall get back in  cents that will be 34   cents
