Answer:
what is the question? and choices
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
6 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 x 2/5 = 3/6 - 1/2
5+1=6
So
if x is the number she spent on each sister and y is the number she spent on each nephew then
180=3x+2y
she wants to spend 15 dollars more on sisters than nephews
so
x=15+y
solve
we have
180=3x+2y and
x=15+y
subsitute 15+y for x
180=3(15+y)+2y
180=45+3y+2y
180=45+5y
minus 45 both sides
135=5y
divide both sides by 5
27=y
solve for x
x=15+y
x=15+27
x=42
she spent $42 on each sister
Semi --> twice
semimonthly --> occuring twice a month
Thus:
You are paid twice a month
12 months in a year
12 x 2 = 24 paychecks an year
