Answer:
The answer to your question is: x = 2.41
Step-by-step explanation:
2x³ = 28
x³ = 28/2
x³ = 14
x = ∛14
x = 2.41
You can write the amount that they spent individually in a ratio where:
Holly : Jimmy
2 : 5
The total of this ratio would be 2+5 = $7.
To find the scale factor multiplier for the base ratio of 2:5:
35/7 = 5
Multiply both sides of the ratio by 5.
Holly : Jimmy
2 x5 : 5 x5
10 : 25
You can see that the total of this ratio is now $35, where Jimmy spent $25.
