The three seventh grade classes at Champion Middle School collected the most boxtops for a school fundraiser, and so they won a

$600 prize to share among them. Ms. Winfrey’s class collected 3,760 box tops, Mrs.Collins collected 2,301, and Ms.Hood’s class collected 1,855. How should they divide the money so that each class gets the same fraction of the prize money as the fraction of the box tops that they collected?? HELP ASAP!

Answer:

Ms. Winfrey: $300

Mrs. Collins: $180

Ms. Hood: $120

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the amount of box tops that each class collected, you need to first find the total amount:

Ms. Winfrey:  3,760

Mrs. Collins: 2,301

Ms. Hood:  <u>1,855</u>

Total:  7,916

To find the approximate ratio, or fraction that each class sold, you can take the individual class amount divided by the total collected by all three classes:

Ms. Winfrey:  3,760/7,916 ≈ 0.5

Mrs. Collins: 2,301/7,916 ≈ 0.3

Ms. Hood:  1,855/7,916 ≈ 0.2

Take each of these rates and multiply by the amount of prize money:

0.5 * $600 = $300

0.3 * $600 = $180

0.2 * $600 = $120

Wilda can do the job in 4 hours ... she does 1/4 (or 0.25) of it each hour.
Karla can do it in 5 hours ... she does 1/5 (or 0.2) of it each hour.

Wilda worked alone for 1 hour ... 0.25 of the job was done before her helper
arrived.  So only 0.75 of the job remained to be done together.

Working together, they accomplish (0.25 + 0.2) = 0.45 of the job in 1 hour.

How many times do they need to do  0.45  of the job in order to finish
the  0.75  of it that remains ?  That's the number of hours it will take them,
working together.

0.75 / 0.45  =  <em>1 and 2/3</em>

After Wilda worked alone for 1 hour and Karla came along to join her, it will
take them another  <em>1 hour and 40 minutes</em> to finish the job and go for a swim.

Which is a solution to 2x + 1 = 21?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

x = 10 is your answer

- Explain -

Step 1: subtract 1 from both sides (subtraction of equality)

which will give us:

2x = 21 - 1

which equals to

2x = 20

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2

which is

2x/2 = 20/2

2/2 = 1 and 20/2 = 10

Therefore the answer is x = 10
