In order to divide $306 into the ratio of 9 to 5 to 3, first you have to make each section of the ratio represented by a variable, and put it into an equation.
9x + 5x + 3x = 306
Our next step is to simplify the left side of the equation by combining all of the like terms, the ones that contain variables.
17x = 306
Finally, to solve this equation, you have to divide both sides by 17 to isolate the variable x on the left side of the equation.
x = 18
However, this is not our answer as it isn't in a ratio format and doesn't really make sense. To find our ratio, we have to multiply each of our initial numbers (9, 5, and 3) by our variable, x.
9 * 18 = 162
5 * 18 = 90
3 * 18 = 54
You can verify that these numbers are correct because if you add them together you get 306.
Your final ratio is 162:90:54.
Hope this helps! :)
If you have a separate specific question about pre-tax prices and PMed me the link, I'd be happy to help you.
Divide 34.65 by 100 take your answer times that by 23 that should be your answer
If we let p and t be the masses of the paper and textbook, respectively, the equations that would best represent the given in this item are:
(1) 20p + 9t = 44.4
(2) (20 + 5)p + (9 + 1)t = 51
The values of p and t from the equation are 0.6 and 3.6, respectively. Thus, each paperback weighs 0.6 pounds and each textbook weighs 3.6 pounds.
A) profit/original price x100 =percentage profit
(Profit: 360-300=$60)
=60/300 x100
=20%
b) two cameras (original price): 300x2= $600
two cameras (price sold): 360x2 = $720
Profit without discount: 720-600= $120
120-100= $20 discount
20/720 x100 =2.78%
Step-by-step explanation:
Area for a right angle triangle = 1/2 bh
b = Base
h = Height
A = 1/2×bh
= 1/2 × 2c^3d^2 × 4c
= (2c^3d^2 × 4c) / 2
= c^3d^2 × 2c
= 2c^4 × d^2
