Answer : 6 pieces
first you need to convert 3/4ths into 8th so you multiply
3/4 * 2 = 6/8
you can get 6 pieces of ribbon
<span> 8 - 4x=4 - 3(2x+6)
<=> 8 - 4x = 4 - 6x - 18
<=> 8 - 4 + 18 = 4x - 6x
<=> 22 = -2x
x = -11</span>
Answer:
x = 12
y = 22
Total amount = $2596
Step-by-step explanation:
First let's find the value of each deposit until the 10th in relation to x and y:
1st: x
2nd: y
3rd: x + y
4th: x + 2y
5th: 2x + 3y
6th: 3x + 5y
7th: 5x + 8y
8th: 8x + 13y
9th: 13x + 21y
10th: 21x + 34y
Now, we can write a system with two equations and two variables:
2x + 3y = 90
21x + 34y = 1000
From the first equation: x = (90 - 3y)/2
Using this value of x in the second equation, we have:
21*(90 - 3y)/2 + 34y = 1000
945 - 31.5y + 34y = 1000
2.5y = 55
y = 22
Now we can find x:
x = (90 - 3*22)/2 = 12
Now, summing all the deposits, we have a total of 55x + 88y, which is equal to 55*12 + 88*22 = $2596
Answer:
8/17
Step-by-step explanation:
total balls= 9 + 18 + 2 + 5 = 34
balls drawn should NOT be Orange.
so, 34 - 18 (as there are 18 orange balls)
16 balls
probability= 16/34 = 8/17
answer = 8/17
Convert 8% too decimal form = 8/100 = .08
1250 * .08 = 100
1250 + 100 = 1350
To find out how many payments of 120 can be made :
120x = 1350
divide both sides by 120
x = 11.25 payments of $120
since .25 is a fraction calculate the actual $ amount by mult. 120 * .25 = $30
The last payment is $30
