3/20 is 15% so that's bigger
Answer: 31 : 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume the following:
Alice's amount = P
Bob's amount = Q
Amount received = n
If Alice receives $n$ dollars from Bob ;then she will have $4$ times as much money as Bob.
P + n = 4(Q - n)
P + n = 4Q - 4n
P = 4Q - 4n - n
P = 4Q - 5n - - - - (1)
If, on the other hand, she gives $n$ dollars to Bob, then she will have $3$ times as much money as Bob
P - n = 3(Q + n)
P - n = 3Q + 3n
P = 3Q + 3n + n
P = 3Q + 4n - - - - - - (2)
Equating both equations - (1) and (2)
4Q - 5n = 3Q + 4n
4Q - 3Q = 4n + 5n
Q = 9n
Express P in terms of n, use either equation (1) or (2)
From equation 2:
P = 3Q + 4n
Substituting Q = 9n
P = 3(9n) + 4n
P = 27n + 4n
P = 31n
Alice's amount = P, Bob's = Q
Ratio = P:Q

Answer:
y=4x+6
Step-by-step explanation:
when x=0 y=6
when x=1 y=10
when x=2 y=14
to find y=50:
50=4x+6
44=4x
11=x
x=11 when y=50
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of children, then
number of men = 4c and number of women = 2c
Sum the numbers of each and equate to 266
4c + 2c + c = 266, that is
7c = 266 ( divide both sides by 7 )
c = 38
Thus
4 × 38 = 152 and 2 × 38 = 76
The group consists of 38 children, 152 men and 76 women
