Using proportions, it is found that $55.7 billion was donated to educational organizations.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

Of the $371 billion donated in total, 15% went to educational organizations, hence the amount is given by:

A = 0.15 x 371 = $55.7 billion.

Hence $55.7 billion was donated to educational organizations.

At the bank, Sheila made 6 deposits, each in the same amount. Her sister Sherri made 5 deposits, each in the same amount. Each o

Serga [27]

<span /><span>TLDR: Equation is 5(10 + x) = 6x. x = 50, so Sheila deposited $50 each 6 trips. Sherri deposited $60 each 5 trips. Both of them deposited $300 in total.

</span>Sherri deposited $10 more into her bank account than Sheila each 5 times. Expression: 5(x + 10).

Sheila deposited money 6 times
Expression: (6)(x) or 6x

Put it all together and the equation is 5(x+10)=6x.

Solve by distributing the 5 on the right side of the equation 5(x+10) to get 5x + 50 = 6x. Subtract 5x on both sides of equation. 5x - 5x + 50 = 6x - 5x to get 50 = 1x. Divide by 1 on each side to isolate the variable. x = 50. Sheila paid $50 in each of her 6 deposits, so she deposited $300 in total. Check the equation by replacing x with 50.

Sherri paid $60 in each of her 5 deposits because 50 + 10 is 60. 60 by 5 is also $300.

Answer:

hat: $12

t-shirt: $8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of 1 hat = h.

Let the price of 1 t-shirt = t.

Julie: h + 2t = 28

Raj: 2h + t = 32

We have a system of 2 equations in 2 variables.

h + 2t = 28

2h + t = 32

Let's use the substitution method to solve the system of equations.

Solve the first equation for h.

h = 28 - 2t

Substitute 28 - 2t for h in the second equation.

2(28 - 2t) + t = 32

56 - 4t + t = 32

56 - 3t = 32

-3t = -24

t = 8

h = 28 - 2t

h = 28 - 2(6)

h = 12

Answer:

hat: $12

t-shirt: $8

The Frosty Ice-Cream Shop sells sundaes for $2 and banana splits for $3. On a hot summer day, the shop sold 8 more sundaes than

svlad2 [7]

The shop sold 36 sundaes and 28 banana spilts

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "a" be the number of sundaes sold

Let "b" be the number of banana spilts sold

Cost of 1 sundaes = $ 2

Cost of 1 banana spilt = $ 3

<em><u>On a hot summer day, the shop sold 8 more sundaes than banana splits and made $156</u></em>

Therefore,

Number of sundaes sold = 8 + number of banana spilts sold

a = 8 + b ------- eqn 1

<em><u>Also, given that they made $ 156</u></em>

<em><u>Therefore, we frame a equation as</u></em>:

Number of sundaes sold x Cost of 1 sundaes + number of banana spilts sold x Cost of 1 banana spilt = 156

$a \times 2+b \times 3 = 156$

2a + 3b = 156 ---------- eqn 2

<em><u>Substitute eqn 1 into eqn 2</u></em>

2(8 + b) + 3b = 156

16 + 2b + 3b = 156

16 + 5b = 156

5b = 156 - 16

5b = 140

<em><u>Substitute b = 28 in eqn 1</u></em>

a = 8 + 28

Thus the shop sold 36 sundaes and 28 banana spilts
