Let his total money be x.
He spent (3/7)*x of his money.
He gave 1/4(x-3/7x) to his sister. 
which is : (1/4)*(4/7)*x = (1/7)*x 
Now,
How much money he have in the beginning = 
(3/7)*x+(1/7)*x+120=x
(4/7)*x+120=x
120=x-(4/7)*x
120=(3/7)*x
x=120*7/3 [cross multiplication]
x=280.

So, Alex had $280 in the beginning.

Find the circumference of the following circle. Use 3.14 for π. Round to the nearest hundredth
LuckyWell [14K]

Formula for the circumference of a circle:

C = 2πr     (C = circumference      π(pi) = 3.14.....    r = radius)

You know:

r = 9 cm      

π = 3.14       So substitute/plug it into the equation

C = 2πr

C = 2(3.14)(9)

C = 56.52 cm

Answer:

A) answer c ; B) X+3.7=15.3 ; C) 15.3 - 3.7 = 11.6 ---> 11.6+3.7=15.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution for A: First you have to look for the line underneath the bar says 15.3 as this will represent the total amount of liters in the bucket altogether. This would be bar c since we also know that we have 3.7 liters added but are missing the amount that was previously inside the bucket.

Solution for B: Let X resemble the unknown amount of water. To solve B, we need to write an equation. We know that there was already an amount of water in the bucket prior to us pouring more in so X is our first addend. We then added 3.7 liters of water to the unknown amount so that is our next addend giving you X+3.7=15.3

Solution for C: Now that we know our equation, we do the inverse operation (subtraction) in order to figure out the missing amount of water. This means we do

15.3 - 3.7 = 11.6
