Hi friend,
The objective is to divide $20 in 2:3 ratio.
One part be 2x, another part is 3x
Sum of them = 20
2x + 3x = 20
5x = 20
x=4
So therefore one part must be 2x = 2 x 4 = 8
Another part = 3x = 3 x 4 = 12
Hence it is divided in 2:3 ratio.
Hope my answer is helpful to u. :)
Answer: £60
Step-by-step explanation:
Natalie bought a pair of shoes for £54 which had been reduced by 10%.
To find the original cost, assume the original cost is x.
The discount would be: 10% * x
The expression would therefore be:
x - (10% * x) = 54
x - 0.1x = 54
0.9x = 54
x = 54 / 0.9
x = £60
Answer:
<u>330,000</u>
Explanation:
Since the two numbers given have the same degree, <u>move the decimal point to the right by the amount of the degree</u> (in this case, move the decimal point to the right 6 times). Now, you have <u>560,000</u> and <u>230,000</u>. Now subtract 230,000 from 560,000, and you get <u>330,000</u> as your answer
Given.
(1)
(2)
Re-arrange equation (2)
Multiply equation (2) by -1
(3)
Combine like terms and solve.
Divide by (2y) and solve for (y).
Substitute (y) for equation (1).
Add (8) to both sides.
Divide by (3).
Check your work.
