Answer:

Kofi=$51.25

Soumik=$46.25

Step-by-step explanation:

let the amount kofi has to be x

soumik=x-5

total=x+x-5=97.50

take -5 to the other side and get=97.50+5

2x=$102.50

x=51.25

Is this a true, is everything correct and how would you graph it.

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-x -6 ≤ 2 -(3x -4)

-x -6 ≤ 2 -3x + 4

-x ≤ -3x +12

2x ≤ 12

x ≤ 6

You would graph this on a number line with a solid dot on 6. Shade to the left.

A tank containing 64 gallons lost 6 1/4% of this through leakage how much is remaining is the tank

jolli1 [7]

if we take 64 to be the 100%, how much is 6¼% off of it?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 64&100\\ x&6\frac{1}{4} \end{array}\implies \cfrac{64}{x}=\cfrac{100}{6\frac{1}{4}}\implies \cfrac{64}{x}=\cfrac{\frac{100}{1}}{\frac{25}{4}}\implies \cfrac{64}{x}=\cfrac{100}{1}\cdot \cfrac{4}{25} \\\\\\ \cfrac{64}{x}=16\implies 64=16x\implies \cfrac{64}{16}=x\implies 4=x \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{it had}}{64}-\stackrel{\textit{leakage}}{4}\implies \stackrel{\textit{remaining}}{60}$
