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

Quadrilateral ABCD undergoes a reflection across the x-axis to form quadrilateral A'B'C'D'. The coordinates of A' are ( , ).
natka813 [3]
1) A(-5,-3); B(-6,-1); C(-3,-1) ; D(-2,-3)

When a refection is done about x-axis, the values of the abscise x remain identical & the value of ordinate  just change their signs:
A(-5,-3); A'(-5,+3)
B(-6,-1); B'(-6,+1)
C(-3,-1); C'(-3,+1)
D(-2,-3); D'(-2,+3)

2) A'B'C'D' is translated 3 UNITS RIGHT, that means the ordinated of A'B'C'D'
are the same but the abscises have been increased by 3 UNITS ;

A'(-5,+3) ==>A"(-2,3)
B'(-6,+1) ==>B"(-3,1)
C'(-3,+1) ==>C"(0,1)
D'(-2,+3) ==>D"(1,3)
