Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If Quan had 15 and Kaden had 3 times as much, then Kaden had 15(3) = 45. If he spent 10 then he had 35 left. The amount of money Quan had after his mom gave him some was 4/5 the amount of Kaden's 35 (let x = the amount of money Quan has after his mom gives him some):
35 divides by the 5 in the denominator 7 times, and 7 times 4 is 28. That's how you get your 28 in part a.
For part b., he started with 15 and ended with 28, so his mom gave him 28-15=13. That's how you get the 13.
There are 4 quarts in 1 gallon.
3 x 4 = 12
12 + 2 = 14 quarts
Hope this helps!! :)
The problem here is: Too many words.
If you boil the problem down to the bare facts, the question is:
"$210 is 15% of what number ?"
I'm pretty sure you can take it from there,
but here's the rest of it anyway:
$210 = 15% of (March amount)
$210 = 0.15 x (March amount)
Divide each side by 0.15 : $1400 = March amount .
Check:
1400 + 210 = 1610
1.15 x 1400 = 1610 yay!
The measure of a right angle is 90 degrees
