X - the amount of money collected by Aiden
y - the amount of money collected by Jacob

Aiden and Jacob collected money in the ratio of 3.5 : 6.8.
\frac{x}{y}=\frac{3.5}{6.8} \\
6.8x=3.5y \\
x=\frac{3.5}{6.8}y \\ x=\frac{35}{68}y

Jacob collected $115.50 more than Aiden.
x+115.5=y \\
x=y-115.5 \\ \\
x=x \\
\frac{35}{68}y=y-115.5 \\
\frac{35}{68}y-y=-115.5 \\
\frac{35}{68}y-\frac{68}{68}y=-115.5 \\
-\frac{33}{68}y=-115.5 \\
y=-115.5 \times (-\frac{68}{33}) \\
y=238 \\ \\
x=y-115.5=238-115.5=122.5 \\ \\
x+y=238+122.5=360.5

The total amount of money they collected is $360.50.

Jason wrote this expression to describe the total amount he will spend on a magazine and a book.
kati45 [8]
The 11 may represent the price of the magazine if all the magazines at a certain store are $11. Then the s may represent the price of a book because all the books at a bookstore are different prices.

Hope this helps

Henry and Bailey plan to make key chains. They need foot of string and 5 beads for each key chain. Henry has $8 to buy string, a
Alona [7]

Answer:

72 Keychains

Step-by-step explanation:

120 feet = $3.25

divide 120 by 3.25 to find how much string can be bought with $1. The result is 36.923. Then multiply that number by the number of dollars allotted to buying string. 8*36.923= 295.384. This is the total number of feet of string they have. They use 1 foot for each key chain so they can make 295 keychains based on how much string they have.

35 beads = $2.59

Divide 35 by 2.59 to find how many beads can be bought with $1. The result is 13.514. Then multiply that number by the number of dollars allotted to buying beads. This comes out to 364.878. This means She can buy 364 beads. Each Key chain needs 5 beads so divide 364/5 getting a total of 72 keychains.

Since there aren't enough beads to make any more than 72 keychains, they can make a total of 72 keychains (even though there is extra string)
