Answer:

Each of them had $49 at first.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cedric and Doug each had an equal amount of money.

Let the number of money they had at first be x

Cedric spent = $35

Doug spent = $28

Cedric Money left = x-35

Doug Money left = x-28

the ratio of Cedric money to Doug money was 2:3

Hence the expression can be made as;

\frac{x-35}{x-28}=\frac{2}{3}

Now by cross multiplication method we get;

3(x-35)=2(x-28)

Now we will use distributive property to elaborate the same;

3x-105=2x-56

Combining common terms we get;

3x-2x=105-56

Using Subtraction property we get;

x= 49

Hence $49 they each had at first.

Greg spent 6.4 hours working with his dad one Saturday. If his dad paid him$45.76, how much did Greg make per hour?
nordsb [41]

Answer:

$7.15

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to solve this is by crossing out the data you don't need so you're left looking at the key pieces to put the equation together. If his dad paid him $45.76 for 6.4 hours, then all you need to do is divide 45.76 by 6.4. (Hint: Use a calculator, it makes it ten times faster than trying to write it out!)

45.76 ÷ 6.4 = 7.15

So Greg made $7.15 an hour working with his dad.
