Answer:

E. 120

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 40

B. 72

C. 80

D. 100

E. 120

Let

x = the intended distance

y = length of the pool

She covers one fifth of her intended distance

Distance covered = 1/5 of x

= x/5

After swimming six more lengths of the pool she had covered one quarter of her intended distance

x/5 + 6y = 1/4 of x

x/5 + 6y = x/4

Collect like terms

6y = x/4 - x/5

6y = 5x - 4x/20

6y = x/20

x = 20 * 6y

= 120y

x = 120y

The intended distance Rebecca wants to cover = 120

Strawberries cost $2 per pound. Kate buys 5 pounds and gets 20% discount on the total cost. How much does Kate pay for the straw
Tema [17]

The total cost without the discount is given by:

C = (2) * (5)\\C = 10$

Then, to find the discounted amount, we make the following rule of three:

10 $ ------------------> 100%

x ----------------------> 20%

From here, we clear the value of x.

We have then:

x = (\frac{20}{100}) * (10)\\x = 2

Then, the cost of the Strawberries with the discount is:

10 - 2 = 8 $

Answer:

Kate pays for the strawberries about $ 8.
