Answer:

The weight of the baby is 25 lbs.

The weight of the dog is 10 lbs

Total weight = 170 lbs

Your weight = 135 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

The total weight is 170 lbs which is shown in the picture.

Suppose the weight of the baby is x lbs . The weight of the dog is 60 % less than x

so x -  0.6 x lbs = 0.4 x is the weight of the dog

And suppose your weight is y lbs.

x+ 0.4x  + y= 170

1.4x+ y= 170

y = 170-1.4x ------1

The sum of your weight , the baby and dog is 100 lbs more than the two combined.

y- 100 = 1.4x

 x +0.4x + 100= y

1.4x+100= y----2

Putting 1 in 2

1.4x+100=170-1.4x

1.4x+ 1.4x = 170- 100

2.8x= 70

x= 25lbs

The weight of the baby is 25 lbs.

The weight of the dog is 4.4x= 0.4 (25)= 10 lbs

Total weight = 170 lbs

Your weight = total weight less baby's weight less dog's weight

                    = 170- 25- 10= 135 lbs

nexus9112 [7]

Take 3 4 5 3 4 5 6 5 4 3 2 3 4 5 6 4 8 4 3 2 and add them all together

=83

Now you divide 83 by the number of terms in the sample set, which is 20.  

83/20 = 4.15

For rounding to the nearest tenth, look at the hundredths space, which is 5. Since it is 5 or higher, round the tenths up one.  

final answer= 4.2

Dots sells a total of 277 T-shirts ($2) and shorts ($3). In April, total sales were $656.
icang [17]

Answer:

Shorts = 112 and t shirts = 165

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S = shorts

Let T = t shirts

T + S = 277

$2T + $3S = $656

-2(T + S) = 277          so    -2T -2S = -544

2T + 3S = 656          so      2T + 3S = 656

                                         ------------------------

SO:  (subtract T's cancel out)   1S = 112

                                           divide by 1  so S = 112

Plug S into the top equation: T + s = 277   T + 112 = 277  so T = 165
