Let x = cost of the dishwasher.
The amounts the children are paying are:
Mark =20% = 1/5, so 1/5x
Sorin = 75
Raymond = 1/4x
Stephanie = 75
Kristin = 1/3x
Add them together:
x = 1/5x + 1/4x + 1/3x + 75 + 75
x - ( 1/5x + 1/4x + 1/3x ) = 150
Rewrite fractions with common denominator:
x - ( 12/60x + 15/60x + 20/60x ) = 150
60/60x - 47/60x = 150
13/60x = 150
x = 150/1 • 60/13
x = 9000/13
x = 692.31
The total cost of the dishwasher is $692.31
Now calculate the amount each child pays:
Mark = 1/5 x = 692.31/ 5 = $138.46
Sorin = $75.00
Raymond = 1/4 x = 692.31 / 4 = $173.08
Stephanie = $75.00
Kristin = 1/3 x = 692.31 / 3 = $230.77
Answer:
<h2>10 weeks </h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given data
Ryan
number of baseball cards=150
number collected per week= 10
let the number of weeks be x
and the total be y
y=10x+150-----------------1
Sarah
number of baseball cards=200
number collected per week= 5
let the number of weeks be x
and the total be y
y=5x+200------------2
Step two:
Required
the number of weeks where both total will be the same
10x+150=5x+200
10x-5x=200-150
5x=50
divide both sides by 5
x=50/5
x=10 weeks
The answer to your problem is 12
