Answer
Find out the how much did each student recieve .
To prove
Let us assume that each student earned in the bake sell be x .
As given
Three students earned $48.76 at the bake sell.
The students split the earnings evenly i.e earning is divided into three equal parts .
Than the equation becomes
Solving the above
x = $16.25(approx)
Therefore the each student recieve $16.25(approx) .
Hence proved
The other number is -3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; First we develop formulae for the given information. A number is added with 3 and the resulting sum is multiplied by 4. This number is then divided by 2 and the quotient is 0. Assume the unknown number is x, then the given information is as follows
The quotient of is 0. So
= 0.
Step 2; Now we solve the above equation. The denominator is taken to the RHS and the RHS remains zero.
= 0, 4(x+3)= 0, 4x+ 12 = 0, 4x = -12, x =
= -3.
So the other number is -3.
