Answer:

The original fraction is 13/27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the fraction be x/y. This means that the numerator is x and the denominator is y.

One-fifth of the sum of the numerator and the denominator of a particular fraction is 8. This means that

1/5 (x+y) = 8

Cross multiplying with 5,

x+y = 5×8 = 40 - - - - - - - -1

If the numerator is subtracted from 22, the original fraction becomes 1/3. This means that

(22-x)/y = 1/3

Cross multiplying with y and 3,

3(22-x) = y×1

66-3x = y - - - - - -2

Substituting y = 66-3x into equation 1, it becomes

x + 66 - 3x = 40

x -3x = 40-66

-2x = -26

x = 26/2 = 13

y = 40 - x = 40 - 13

= 27

The original fraction is 13/27

elena55 [62]

Answer:

89 is  the maximum number of guests that can be invited within budget  .

Step-by-step explanation:

The cleaning charges = $55

Total budget available = $3350

Cost per guest = $37

Now, actual budget available for guest = Total budget -  Cleaning Fee

= $3350  - $ 55   = $3,295

Now, cost per head =$ 37

So, number of guests (n) possible in the budget

⇒ n = (Total guest Budget)/ Cost per head

= $3,295 / $37  = $89.05

or,  n = $89.05

So, 89 is  the maximum number of guests that can be invited within budget  .
