X=skirt
y=sweater
z=shoes

x+y+z=165
y=8/7x
z=x+11
plug it in
x+(8/7x)+(x+11)=165
2x+8/7x=154
22/7x=154
x=49
y=56
z=60
a skirt cost $49, a sweater cost $56, and a pair of shoes cost $60

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The second group

Step-by-step explanation:

The first group is 4 apples for 3 friends.

= 4/3. They each got 1 & 1/3 of an apple.

The second group is 6 apples for 4 friends.

= 6/4. They each got 1 & 1/2 of an apple.

1 1/3 < 1 1/2, so friends in the second group get a larger portion of apples

The radioactive isotope radium has a half-life of 1,600 years. The mass of a 100-gram sample of radium will be______ grams after
Olenka [21]
To solve this we are going to use the half life equation N(t)=N_{0} e^{( \frac{-0.693t}{t _{1/2} }) }
Where:
N_{0} is the initial sample
t is the time in years
t_{1/2} is the half life of the substance
N(t) is the remainder quantity after t years 

From the problem we know that:
N_{0} =100
t=200
t_{1/2} =1600

Lets replace those values in our equation to find N(t):
N(200) =100e^{( \frac{(-0.693)(200)}{1600}) }
N(200)=100e^{( \frac{-138.6}{1600} )}
N(200)=100e^{-0.086625}
N(200)=91.7

We can conclude that after 1600 years of radioactive decay, the mass of the 100-gram sample will be 91.7 grams.
