Answer:

The answer is 31 pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to find a number that gives a remainder of 1 when divided by both 2, 3 and 5.

The easiest way to do this is to list the factors of 5, add 1 to it, and test them until we find the one with a remainder of 1 by all three divisors. This is done as follows:

1) factor: 5 (+1) = 6

6 ÷ 2 = 3 remainder 0

6 ÷ 3 = 2 remainder 0

since there is a remainder of 0, when divided by 3, 6 is wrong

2) factor; 10 (+1) = 11

11 ÷ 3 = 3 remainder 2 ( 11 is not the correct answer

3) factor : 15 (+1) = 16

16 ÷ 2 = 8 remainder 0 ( 16 is  not the correct answer

4) factor : 20(+1) = 21

21 ÷ 3 = 7 remainder 0 ( 21 is wrong)

5) factor : 25(+1) = 26

26 ÷ 2 = 13 remainder 0 ( 26 is wrong)

6) factor : 30(+1) = 31

31 ÷ 2 = 15 Remainder 1

31 ÷ 3 = 10 Remainder 1

31 ÷ 5 = 6 Remainder 1

since all three divisors give a remainder of 1, the correct answer is 31

Therefore you have 31 pwnnies

Stuart's bank account had a balance of - $54.19 last month. This month he won a cash prize of $70.82 for winning a competition.
Alenkinab [10]

If Stuart starts with -$54.19 then gains $70.82, you have to add the gained amount to the origin amount. Since the origin amount is negative, you can also subtract the origin amount from the gained amount to find the amount left at the end of the month.

Add 70.82 to -54.19

-54.19 + 70.82 = 16.63

<u>Alternative method:</u>

First, subtract 54.19 from 70.82.

70.82 - 54.19 = 16.63

Add 54.19 to -54.19, bringing you to 0.

-54.19 + 54.19 = 0

Now add the remaining 16.63.

0 + 16.63 = 16.63

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Stuart will have </u><u>$16.63</u><u> at the end of this month.</u>

Dots sells t-shirts ($2) and shorts ($4). In April total sales were $456. People bought 4 times as many t-shirts as shorts. How
Doss [256]

Answer:

Dots sold 152 t-shirts and 38 shorts sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t = t-shirts and s = shorts.

We know that people bought 4 times as many t-shorts as shorts, which can be set to the equation t = 4s

Since t-shirts cost $2, shorts cost $4, and the total sales was $456, we can set the equation 2t +4s = 456

So our two equations are:

t = 4s

2t + 4s = 456

Substitute t from the 1st equation into the 2nd:

2(4s) + 4s = 456

8s + 4s = 456

12s = 456

s = 38

There were 38 shorts sold.

Since we have the number of shorts, we can plug that back into the 1st equation to find the number of t-shirts sold:

t = 4s

t = 4(38)

t = 152

There were 152 t-shirts sold.
