So find the difference between 1995 and 2022 to make it easier
2022-1995=27

so the rephrased question is
when hazel was x years old, she was 25 years older than son gary who was y old at that time (equation is x is 25 more than y or x=25+y)
in 27 years, (this means x+27 and y+27) hazel's age will be 150% of gary's age (x+27= 150% of y+27)
percent means parts out of 100  so 150%=150/100=15/10=1.5
'of' in math means multiply so
the equations are
x=25+y
x+27=1.5(y+27)
subsitute 25+y for x in second euation
25+y+27=1.5(y+27)
add like terms
y+52=1.5(y+27)
I personally dislike decimals to multiply both sides by 2 to make 2 0.5's or 1 (you are technically supposed to distribute or divide both sides by 1.5) so
2y+104=3(y+27)
distribute
2y+104=3y+81
subtract 2y from both sides
104=y+81
subtract 81 from both sides
23=y
subsitute
x=25+y
x=25+23
x=48


Hazel was 48 and Gary was 23 in the year of 1995

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

$160

Step-by-step explanation:

Diane sold some stuffs at a garage sale.

Let the total value of the money Diane made = x

She spent one-half of the money she made on a new bicycle.

Amount spent on a Bicycle = 1/2 × x = 1/2x

Next,

Amount left

= x - 1/2x = 1/2x

She spent one-half of what was left on a portable stereo.

Amount spent spent on Portable stereo

= 1/2 × 1/2x

= 1/4x

If Diane had $40.00 left,

Hence:

The fraction of what was left is calculated as:

= x - (1/2x + 1/4x)

= x - (3/4x)

= 1/4x

Hence:

1/4x = $40

We can find the value of x now.

1/4 × x = $40

x/4 = $40

x = $40 × 4

x = $160

Therefore, the amount she made from the garage sale is $160

Identify whether each of the datasets is quantitative or qualitative a. Types of computer software used in a database management
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

a. Types of computer software used in a database management system. =Qualitative

b. Life-lengths of laser printers =Quantitative

c. Brands of calculators used by 100 engineering students on campus =Qualitative

d. Mileage attained by 12 automobiles powered by alcohol= Quantitative

Step-by-step explanation:

Data is described as quantitative when it deals with numeric values whereas qualitative data is categorical in nature. Quantitative data tells us how much, how many, or the frequency of occurrence of certain variables. Qualitative data provides answers to the what, why, which, and where questions.

1. Types of computer software are not numeric variables as they answer the 'what' question.

2. Length deals with numbers, so the life-lengths of laser printers is a quantitative variable.

3. Brands of calculators are categorical data and are thus qualitative.

4. Mileage is a numerical variable and is thus quantitative.
