Answer:

Because 20 has to be doubled to become 40. While 40 is twice as much as 20 so you just divide 40 by 20 to get 50%.

Explanation:

20 x 20 = 40 = 100%

40 / 20 = 50%

Mary and Jane have $48 to share in the ratio 3:5. How much did each girl 2 points

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Mary- $18

Jane- $30

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the numbers in the ratio together to get 8, and multiply 8 by the variable of x. Divide the total amount of money that both girls earned by 8. You will get x=6. Multiply 6 by 3 to get the amount of money Mary earned, which is 18, and multiply 6 by 5 to get the amount of money Jane earned, which is 30.

x(3+5) = $48

3x + 5x = $48

8x = $48

8x/8 = $48/8

x = $6

3($6):5($6) = $18:$30
