Answer:

The amount each took home was 20 unit currency.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Seven apple women, possessing respectively 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, and 140  apples, went to market and sold all their apples at the same price, and each  received the same sum of money.

Formula  : a \times n + (n - 1), (a + b)\cdot n + (n - 2), (a + 2 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 3), (a + 3 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 4), (a + 4 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 5), (a + 5 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 6), (a + 6 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 7)

a \cdot n + (n - 1) = 20

(a + b) \cdot n + (n - 2)=40

(a + 2 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 3) = 60

(a + 3 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 4) = 80

(a + 4 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 5) = 100

(a + 5 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 6) = 120

(a + 6 \cdot b) \cdot n + (n - 7) = 140

On solving :

n = 7, a = 2, b = 3

So,

2 \times 7 + 6 = 20

5 \times 7 + 5=40

8 \times 7 + 4 = 60

11 \times 7 +  3 = 80

14 \times 7 + 2 = 100

17 \times 7 + 1 = 120

Based on market pricing if groups of apples are sold at 1 unit currency for 7, and extras are sold for 3 unit currency per extra 1, we have the amount :

2×1 + 6×3 = 20

5×1 + 5×3=20

8×1 + 4×3 = 20

11×1 +  3×3 = 20

14×1 + 2×3 = 20

17×1 + 1×3 = 20

20×1 = 20

Therefore, the amount each took home was 20 unit currency.

on a lake, Carol rowed a boat for 1/8 mile. Then luke rowed the boat for 3/8 mile. how far did carol and like row in all? simpli
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Total = \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Carol = \frac{1}{8}

Luke = \frac{3}{8}

Required

How far did they row together

To do this, we simply add the distance they both covered.

Total = Carol + Luke

This gives;

Total = \frac{1}{8} + \frac{3}{8}

Take LCM

Total = \frac{1+3}{8}

Total = \frac{4}{8}

Simplify

Total = \frac{1}{2}

<em>Hence, they both rowed 1/2 mile</em>

Please help me!
yan [13]

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>A = Area of First Rectangle </em></u>

<u><em>B = Area of Second Rectangle </em></u>

<u><em>w = Width</em></u>

<u></u>

12(w)=320+B (1st Equation)

8(w) = B (2nd Equation)

w=B/8 <em><u>(Plug this value of w into the first equation)</u></em>

12B/8 = 320 +B <u><em>(you get this)</em></u>

12B= 2560 + 8B <u><em>(Simplify)</em></u>

4B = 2560

B =640 <em><u>plug this value into the 2nd equation</u></em>

8(w) = 640

w = 80

<em>To Test This</em>

12x80 = 960

8x80 = 640

<h3>960 - 640 = 320 <u><em>Therefore the answer is correct the width is 80</em></u></h3>
