8 gorrilas
Explanation:The ratio of monkeys to gorrila = 5:2
This means there are 5 monkeys for every 2 gorrilas
when there are 20 monkeys,
let the number of gorrilas = x
5 monkeys = 2 gorrilas
20 monkeys = x
cross multiply:
5(x) = 20(2)
5x = 40
divide both sides by 5:
5x/5 = 40/5
x = 8
Hence, if there were 20 monkeys, we would have 8 gorrilas.
Hello!
Since Trey pays a flat monthly $6 fee, we can subtract that from the total bill:
$12.27 - $6 = $6.72
That leaves us with a total of $6.72 paid for minutes. We are told that Trey is charged 8 cents per minute of usage. Using the information above, we can create the following equation:
$0.08 x (minutes) = $6.72
Now divide $0.08 from both sides of the equation and simplify:
x (minutes) =
minutes = 84
We have now proven that Trey was billed for 84 minutes.
I hope this helps!
