Answer:

Each boy receive $3.75 and Each girl receive  $7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Thirty dollars is to be divided among three girls and two boys so that each of the girls receives twice as much as each of the boys.

To Find:  How much does each receive?

Solution :

Let each boy gets $x

Since we are given that each of the girls receives twice as much as each of the boys

So, each girl receive amount = 2x

Since there are 3 girls .

So, 3 girls received the amount = 3*(2x)=6x

Now each boy gets x amount

So, 2 boys get amount = 2*x =2x

Since thirty dollars are divided among them .

So, 6x+2x=30

8x=30

x=\frac{30}{8}

x=3.75

Thus each boy gets $3.75

Each girl receive amount = 2x = 2*3.75= $7.5

Hence Each boy receive $3.75 and Each girl receive  $7.5

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Finding the equivalent multiplier, it is found that the function for the final price is:

P(x) = 0.68x.

-------------------------------------------

  • There is a holiday sale of 20% off the price of x, thus 0.8x is paid, as 1 - 0.2 = 0.8.
  • Additionally, there is a coupon of 15% off, thus, 0.85 of 0.8x is paid.
  • The equivalent multiplier is:

0.85(0.8) = 0.68

  • Thus, the function for the final price is:

P(x) = 0.68x

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

x = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Secant and Tangent Intersection Theorem we can say;

(x + 18) (18) = 30²

18x + 324 = 900

18x = 576

x = 32
