tester [92]

Answer:

35 [$]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) if Peter's sum is p and Jacky's is j, then the ratio 5:2 in the condition can be written j/p=5/2;

2) the phrase 'after Jacky gave 15 dolls to Peter, they have an equal number of dolls' can be written as j-15=p;

3) using the two above it is possible to make up the system of two equations:

$\left \{ {{\frac{j}{p} =5/2} \atop {j-15=p}} \right. \ = > \ \left \{ {{j=2.5p} \atop {j-15=p}} \right. \ = > \ \left \{ {{j=25} \atop {p=10}} \right.$

4) finally, the have together 10+25=35 doll-s.

Aunty Joan packs a packet of sweets to Alice and Olivia. Alice and Olivia share sweets in the ratio 7:3. Alice gives 3 sweets to

aivan3 [116]

Initially, Alice had 28 sweets and Olivia 12 sweets.

Step-by-step explanation:

First assume that Aunty Joan has x number sweets.

Alice and Olivia shared the x sweets in a ration of 7:3, this means

Alice had 7/10 x sweets and Olivia had 3/10 sweets.

Alice gives 3 sweets to Olivia, Alice will remain with ;

$\frac{7}{10} x-3$

Then the new ratio changes to 5:3 which means Alice will have 5/8 x number of sweets.

Equate the number of sweets for Alice in the two cases, which is

$\frac{5}{8}x=\frac{7}{10} x-3\\ \\\frac{7}{10} x-\frac{5}{8} x=3\\$

$\frac{56x-50x}{80} =3\\\\\\\frac{6}{80} x=3\\\\\\6x=80*3\\\\\\x=240/6\\\\x=40$

So there were 40 sweets at first

Using the ratio of 7:3 then

Alice had 7/10 *40 = 28 sweets

Olivia had 3/10*40= 12 sweets

Alice gave Olivia 3 sweets, so she will remain with 28-3 =25 sweets. Olivia will now have 15 sweets.The new ratio will be 25:15 simplified as 5:3.

Greta is trying to determine the portion of green candies in various bags of green and yellow candies. Using the information bel

IrinaK [193]

Answer: a) $\dfrac{1}{3}$ b) $\dfrac{71}{100}$ c) $\dfrac{5}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

There are green and yellow candies in each bag.

Bag A: Two thirds of the candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Part of yellow candies in bag A = $\dfrac{2}{3}$

Part of green candies in bag A would be

$1-\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{3-2}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{3}$

Bag B: 29 % of the candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Percentage of candies are yellow = 29%

Portion of candies are green is given by

$1-\dfrac{29}{100}\\\\=1-0.29\\\\=0.71\\\\=\dfrac{71}{100}$

Bag C: 4 out of every 9 candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Portion of yellow candies = $\dfrac{4}{9}$

Portion of green candies would be

$1-\dfrac{4}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{9-4}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{9}$

Hence, a) $\dfrac{1}{3}$ b) $\dfrac{71}{100}$ c) $\dfrac{5}{9}$
