I have $100. I spent $40 on a prize and $45 on food. How do I figure out what % is purchase is from the original amount I had?

1 answer:

8 0

You could say that you spent (purchased) 85% of the money that you had.

You spent a total of $85.

If you create the fraction 85/100, that is the same as saying you spent 85% of the money.

UW= 2 and UX=y. Write an expression for WX

Eddi Din [679]

Divide each term by U and simplify. X=y/U and W=2/U. Next, solve the equation for y. Simplify the left side then cancel the common factor of U. 1/1*y/1=y

W=2/U. Multiply 1/1*y/1=y/1 so, y/1=y and W=2/U. Next, divide y/y to get 1 now y=y, still W=2/U. Now, move all terms containing y to the left side. Since, Y contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left side of the equation by subtracting y from both sides. Now, y-y=0 still W=2/U. Next, subtract y from y to get zero and still W=2/U. Subtract y from y to get zero or 0=0 and W=2/U is your expression since 0=0.

Next: UW=m and WX=y+14 write expression for UX

First, divide each term by W and simplify. U=m/W, WX=y+14. Next, solve the equation for Y. Move y from the right side of the equation to the left side. Still, U=m/W and y=-14+WX. We must reorder -14 and WX. U=m/w and y=WX-14.
Replace the variable U with m/W in the expression to (m/W)X. Next, simplify (m/W)X. Now, write X and a fraction with denominator 1. Looks like this
fractions are side by side m/W X/1 . Multiply, m/W and X/1 to get mX/W.
mX/W is your final expression for UW=m and WX=y+14 expression for UX.

Guys Help!! I Don´t Know How To Do This!!

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Frank

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's start by calculating the speed of each runner.

Let's use feet per second

Frank's speed is already given in feet per second: 14 feet/second

We are given that Jake runs 382 feet in 38 seconds. To bring this down to feet/second we need to divide both numbers by 38.

382/38=10.05 feet/second (about)

We are given that Will runs 1 mile in 394 seconds. 1 mile is equivalent to 5280 feet. Now we divide both numbers by 394 to bring it down to feet/second.

5280/394=13.401 feet/second (about)

We are given that Ron runs 555 feet in 1 minute. 1 minute is equivalent to 60 seconds. Now we divide both numbers by 60 to bring it down to feet/second.

555/60=9.25 feet/second

After comparing all the speeds, we can conclude that Frank runs the fastest
