A book store contains 75,972 books, divided in three sections: Science, Business, and Math.

1 answer:

3 0

The answer is 12,662 books in the math section.

Since the science section represents 1/3 of the total books, divide 75,972 by 3.

75,972 ÷ 3 = 25,324 books in the science section.

Now, subtract 25,324 science books from the total number of books.

75,972 - 25,324 = 50,648 remaining books.

Divide the remaining books by 4 and then multiply by 3.

50,648 ÷ 4 = 12,662 • 3 = 37,986 business books.

Add the science books and business books together.

25,324 + 37,986 = 63,310 science and business books.

Subtract 63,310 from 75,972.

75,972 - 63,310 = 12,662 books in the math section.

Hope I helped!

Mari and Jen each work 20 hours a week at different jobs. Mari earns twice as much as Jen. Together they earn $480. How much doe

Salsk061 [2.6K]

We will call:
M=Mari
J=Jen

Initial equations:

M=2J
M+J=480
(the fact that they work 20 hours a week is not needed in this problem information)

Plug in:
2J+J=480
3J=480
J=160

Jen makes $160 a week.

Therefore:

M=2J
M=2(160)
M=320

Mari makes $320 per week
Jen makes $160 per week
