Answer: Each person´s share of the cost is $238.75 (option b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to solve this problem we have to analyze the information given:

  • Cost of the sofa (s) = $955
  • Number of roommates (n) = 4

Cost: c

Formula: c= s/n

To calculate each person´s share we simply have to use the formula, using the values given:

So:

c = $955 /4 = $238.75

Each person´s share of the cost is $238.75 (option b)

Feel free to ask for more if it´s necessary or if you did not understand something.

vodomira [7]

Answer:

The number of students who prefer chocolate milk is 780 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total number of students in the school = 1200

The percentage of students who prefer plain white milk = 35 %

Let the number of students who prefer chocolate milk = x

Now, ∵ The percentage of students who prefer plain white milk = 35 %

∴ The percentage of students who prefer chocolate milk = 100 % - 35 % = 65%

So , As The number of  students who prefer chocolate milk = x

Or, 65 % of total number of students in school = x

So, x = \frac{65}{100} × 1200

or, x = \frac{65\times 1200 }{100}

∴  x = 780

So, the number of students who prefer chocolate milk = x = 780

And  students who prefer plain white milk = 1200 - x = 1200 - 780 = 420

Hence, The number of students who prefer chocolate milk is 780 . Answer

kari74 [83]
Well There isn't enough evidence to tell how many hours each of them worked. Yu stated how long they each traveled separately but did not state the amount of hours worked, or any proof for it.

But Assuming that by worked you mean traveled.
Annie traveled 5 times the sum of the number of hours Brian traveled and 2. together they traveled 20 hours. find the number of hours each person worked.So 20 is 6 times the number of hours Annie & Brian Worked + 10
(From the 10 extra hours Annie worked from +2)
10/6=1 hour and 40 min
So Brain worked/traveled for 1 hour and 40 minuets. 
Then we find Annie's time. Add 2 hours to 1 hour and 40 and you get
3 hours 40 times that by 5 and you get 18 hours and 20 min
So Annie worked/traveled for 18 hours and 20 min
I hope this helped
