Mathematics
1 answer:
kari74 [83]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

9 years ago.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dotty is 51 years old and Esmerelda is 23 now.

Now, x years ago the age of Dotty was (51 - x) years and the age of Esmerelda was (23 - x) years.

Assume that x years ago Dotty was 3 times Esmerelda's age.

So, we can write the equation as

3(23 - x) = 51 - x

⇒ 69 - 3x = 51 - x

⇒ 69 - 51 = 3x - x

⇒ 18 = 2x

⇒ x = 9 years.

Therefore, 9 years ago Dotty was 3 times Esmerelda's age. (Answer)

Artemon [7]

Answer:

72.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Lab score % = 23%

Each Major test % = 22.5%

Final exam % = 32%

Score :

Lab score = 96

First Major test = 64

Second major test = 62

Final exam = 69

Hence,

Weighted average = Σ(weight % * score)

Weighted average = Σweight_1*score_1 +.. Weight_n * score_n)

(0.23 * 96) + (0.225 * 64) + (0.225 * 62) + (0.32 * 69) = 72.51
