Just simple proportions:
12(apples) x(apples)
-------------- = --------------
4(oranges) 7(oranges)
12*7 = 84
84/4 = 21
There are 21 apples + 7 oranges = 28 apples and oranges!

Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
In 13 - 17
Consider the factors of the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term
13
x² - x - 42 = (x - 7)(x + 6)
15
x² + x - 6 = (x + 3)(x - 2)
17
x² - 27x + 50 = (x - 25)(x - 2)
19
r² - 25 ← is a difference of squares and factors in general as
a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b) , thus
r² - 25
= r² - 5² = (r - 5)(r + 5)
Net Income: I=$1,240.00
Food: F=$150.00
Car payment: C=$244.00
Rent: R=$300.00
Saving: S=$50.00
Other things: O=?
F+C+R+S+O=I
$150.00+$244.00+$300.00+$50.00+O=$1240.00
Solving for O:
$744.00+O=$1240.00
$744.00+O-$744.00=$1240.00-$744.00
O=$496.00
Percent of his net income Victor can spend on other things: P=?
P=(O/I)*100%
P=($496.00/$1240.00)*100%
P=(0.40)*100%
P=40%
Answer: 40% of his net income Victor can spend on other things.
