You would use the # line to add and subtract from Rose's total. The remaining amount that Rose still owes is $3.
144 girls , 1/3 = 72 , 2/3 = 144
The <em>correct answers</em> are:
It would take 5 months and she would save $250.
Explanation:
Let m be the number of months.
For the first way of saving, $200 up front and $10 each month, the expression would be
200+10m.
For the second way of saving, $100 up front and $30 each month, the expression would be
100+30m.
Setting them equal gives us the equation
200+10m = 100+30m
Subtract 10m from each side:
200+10m-10m = 100+30m-10m
200 = 100+20m
Subtract 100 from each side:
200-100 = 100+20m-100
100 = 20m
Divide both sides by 20:
100/20 = 20m/20
5 = m
It would take 5 months.
$200 up front and $10 each month for 5 months:
200+10m
200+10(5)
200+50
250
She would save $250.
Let us set up some variabe:
Use the known information:
Now lets find the area
Area = (1/2) * b *h = (1/2) * h * (2h + 8)
Hope that helps!
