It seems confusing, but it's just breaking down the steps for you. It's done the same as any other word problem.
a. The unknown is how many minutes she used beyond the plan. So, we'll use "m" for the variable, to represent minutes.
b. 73.40 = 65 + 0.10m
The 73.40 is the total, which is why it's by itself. 65 represents the price per month for the plan, and 0.10m is the price per extra minute multiplied by the unknown amount of minutes used.
c. 73.40 = 65 + 0.10m
8.40 = 0.10m
84 = m
d. The number of minutes that Allegra went over the time that the plan allows is found by solving the equation we just wrote and solved. $0.10 is paid for every minute past the plan's allowance, meaning that "m" in the equation, when solved, shows us exactly how many minutes over Allegra went.
Answer:
£30
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Brian initially had money in his wallet = £x
and Colin had the money = £y
Since ratio of money in Brian's wallet to Colin's wallet was 5 : 1
Therefore,
⇒ x = 5y -------(1)
Brian spent £27 that day, so money left with him = £(x - 27)
After spending the money Brian had £3 less than Colin.
(x - 27) = (y - 3)
x = y + 27 - 3
x = y + 24 -------(2)
Now we equate the equations (1) and (2) for the value of x,
5y = y + 24
5y - y = 24
4y = 24
y = £6
From equation (2),
x = 6 + 24
x = £30
Therefore, Brian initially had £30.
i hope this helps
Your answer will be t=3k/v if you solve for t
2/5 is the answer so the reciprocal would be 5/2
