Answer: 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ratio of their share is 2 : 1 , Let Sarah's share be x , then Caroline's share will be 2x.

Since Caroline gets 45 more than Sarah , then

2x = x + 45 ,

2x - x = 45

x = 45

This means that Sarah's share is 45 and Caroline's share will be 90

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of 2:1....total of 3....so caroline gets 2/3 of the money and sarah gets 1/3 of the money. Let the total amount of money be x.

so caroline = 2/3x and sarah = 1/3x

caroline gets 45 more then sarah

2/3x = 1/3x + 45

2/3x - 1/3x = 45

1/3x = 45

x = 45 * 3

x = 135.....so the total money is $ 135

caroline gets 2/3 of it.......2/3(135) = 270/3 = $ 90

sarah gets 1/3 of it......1/3(135) = 135/3 = $ 45 <===

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

40th and 80th visit

the first visit where you receive both is the 40th

Step-by-step explanation:

personally, I believe that the simplest way to solve this is use an excel spreadsheet to see which visits would include both a free beverage and a free appetizer:

  • both rewards would happen only twice, at the 40th and 80th visit.

you can also calculate it mathematically since multiples of 8 and 10 do not repeat themselves very much, only when 8 is multiplied by 5 and 10.

Renata wins a $20 gift card to an online music site. After Renata purchases 16 songs, the gift card has a remaining
amm1812

Answer: y=20-1.25x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope of the line and "b" is the y-intercept.

You need to analize the information given in the exercise.

You know that gift card had a total of $20. Then, since she started to buy the songs with $20, you can identify that:

b=20

Since Renata purchased 16 songs and the gift card had a remaining  balance of $0 after this, you can find the cost of each song. This is:

\frac{20}{16}=\$1.25

Therefore, she spent $1.25 per song. This means that the slope is:

m=-1.25

Then, you get that the equation that represents the relationship between "y" (the remaining balance on Renata's gift card) and "x" (the number of songs purchased) is:

y=20-1.25x
