Answer:

The youngest child will receive $2000

Step-by-step explanation:

A father decided to give 25% of his monthly income to his three children as their monthly allowance.

The eldest child got 45% of the allowance and the youngest got 20%. This means that the second child got:

100 - (45 + 20) = 100 - 65 = 35%

The second child received $3500.

Let the 25% of his monthly income be x.

Hence:

35% of x = 3500

=> \frac{35}{100} * x = 3500

x = \frac{3500 * 100}{35}

x = $10000

The amount the man shared among his children is $10000.

Hence, the youngest child (20%) will receive:

20% of $10000

\frac{20}{100} * 10000

= $2000

The youngest child will receive $2000.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

n = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

1.2n + 1 = 1 - n

Add n and - 1 on both sides.

1.2n + n = 1 - 1

Combine like terms.

2.2n = 0

Divide both sides by 2.2.

n = 0

Find the missing length of the triangle <br> 20 cm<br> 12 cm
larisa [96]

The shape on the left is a square with side length of 12 cm

This means the height of the triangle is 12cm.

Knowing the height and the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean you can solve for the base.

20^2 = 12^2 + x^2

400 = 144 + x^2

Subtract 144 from both sides:

256 = x^2

Take the square root of both sides

X = sqrt(256)

X = 16

X = 16
