Answer:

The answer to your question is the big dog weighs 120 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

big dog = b    

medium dog = m

small dog = s

Equations

       b = 5s

       m = 12 + s

       s = 2/3 m

Process

1.- Substitute m in the last equation

       s = 2/3(12 + s)

       s = 24/3 + 2/3s

       s - 2/3s = 8

       1/3 s = 8

             s = 8(3)

             s = 24 pounds

2.- Substitute s in the first equation

        b = 5(24)

        b = 120 pounds

mario62 [17]

Answer:

About $241.11

Step-by-step explanation:

So, Karen receives 18.2 cents per paper.

She delivers 124 paper per day.

In other words, on days other than Sunday, she will make a total of:

18.2(124)=2256.8\text{ cents}

On Sunday, each paper is sold for $0.70 or 70 cents. She also sells 151 Sunday papers. Thus, on a Sunday, she will make a total of:

70(151)=10570\text{ cents}

Therefore, in one week, she will do the first equation six times and the Sunday equation once. Thus, her total pay will be:

6(2256.8)+10570=24110.8\text{ cents}\approx\$241.11

As x = 5 & z=12, 

<span>2/3 = y /(xz) = y/(5*12) </span>

<span>= y/60 </span>

<span>so y / 60 = 2/3 </span>

<span>y = (2*60)/3 </span>
