whenever we have an amount to be divided in ratios, we simply divide the total amount by the sum of those ratios and then distribute accordingly. In this case, let's divide 77.40 by (1+3+5) and then distribute accordingly to each chap.

$\bf \stackrel{Paul}{1}~~:~~\stackrel{Colin}{3}~~:~~\stackrel{Brian}{5}~\hfill \cfrac{77.40}{1+3+5}\implies 8.6 \\\\\\ \stackrel{Paul}{1\cdot 8.6}~~:~~\stackrel{Colin}{3\cdot 8.6}~~:~~\stackrel{Brian}{5\cdot 8.6}\qquad \implies \qquad \stackrel{Paul}{8.6}~~:~~\stackrel{Colin}{25.8}~~:~~\stackrel{Brian}{43} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{Brian get this much more than Paul}}{43-8.6\implies 34.4}~\hfill$

Answer:

£34.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Paul, Colin and Brian are waiters.

One night the restaurant earns tips totalling £77.40

They share the tips in the ratio 1:3:5

Paul gets $\frac{1}{9}$ × £77.40 = £8.60

Brian gets $\frac{5}{9}$ × £77.40 = £43.00

Brian gets £43.00 - £8.60 = £34.40 more than Paul.

Angle kl bisects angle vkw. Classify angle vkw if measure of angle lkw is 25°

Tanya [424]

angle lkw = 25 degree
thus, angle vkw = 2 x 25 = 50 degree

as the angle vkw is 50 degree, angle vkw can be classified as an acute angle

Consider the explicit formulas for two sequence

BaLLatris [955]

These are the formulas right?.. I hope so, anyways..

- f(n)= 2^(n-1) -1

- g(n)=3n+6

f(7)=2^{7-1}-1 - f(7)=2^{6}-1 - f(7)=64-1 - f(7) = 63

g(10)=3\X 10+6 - g(10)=30+6 - g(10) = 36

= f(7)>g(10)

I hope that it helped..

Reflections. Please help me

Answer:

see the attachments

Step-by-step explanation:

I suggested to you on a different occasion that by using tracing paper or tissue paper, you could make a copy of the image that you could move in the desired way to find its new location.

Here, the first attachment shows the figure being drawn on a piece of tissue with the line of reflection and the axes origin also shown.

The second attachment shows the tissue flopped over and the origin and line of reflection aligned with their previous locations. The new location of the figure is fairly obvious.

For reflection, any point that was some distance from the line on one side will be reflected to the same distance from the line on the other side. The distance is measured perpendicular to the line.

Comment on "the work"

I only have a badly focused image of your original worksheet to work from, but even that is sufficient to illustrate the process and the result. It took longer to make and edit the photos than to do the drawing necessary to find the answer.
