Answer:
Blue car: 30.5 / 1.25 =24.4 miles per gallon
Red car: 25.6/0.80 =32 miles per gallon
You can easily see that the Red car travel farther on 1 gallon of gasoline.
X + x -30 = 2022x - 30 = 2022x = 232x =116 first game = 116second game = 116 - 30 = 86116 + 86 = 202 second game = 86
The total weight of candies is unknown. Let x = the total weight of candies.
"One student ate 3/20 of all candies and another 1.2 lb":
The first student ate (3/20)x plus 1.2 lb which is 0.15x + 1.2.
"The second student ate 3/5 of the candies and the remaining 0.3 lb."
The second student ate (3/5)x and 0.3 lb which is 0.6x + 0.3.
Altogether the 2 students ate 0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3.
That was all the amount of candies, so that sum equals x.
0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3 = x
Now we solve the equation for x to find what the total amount of candies was.
0.75x + 1.5 = x
-0.25x = -1.5
x = 6
The total amount of candies was 6 lb.
The first student ate 0.15x + 1.2 = 0.15(6) + 1.2 = 0.9 + 1.2 = 2.1, or 2.1 lb of candies.
The second student ate 0.6x + 0.3 = 0.6(6) + 0.3 = 3.6 + 0.3 = 3.9, or 3.9 lb of candies.
Answer: The first student ate 2.1 lb of candies, and the second student ate 3.9 lb of candies.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number of dimes=x
and number of quarters=y
x=2y
0.10 x+0.25 y=2.25
or 10x+25y=225
divide by 5
2x+5y=45
2 ×2y+5y=45
4y+5y=45
9y=45
y=45/9=5
x=2y=2×5=10
Hence dimes=10
quarters=5
