Aunty Joan packs a packet of sweets to Alice and Olivia. Alice and Olivia share sweets in the ratio 7:3. Alice gives 3 sweets to

aivan3 [116]

Initially, Alice had 28 sweets and Olivia 12 sweets.

Step-by-step explanation:

First assume that Aunty Joan has x number sweets.

Alice and Olivia shared the x sweets in a ration of 7:3, this means

Alice had 7/10 x sweets and Olivia had 3/10 sweets.

Alice gives 3 sweets to Olivia, Alice will remain with ;

$\frac{7}{10} x-3$

Then the new ratio changes to 5:3 which means Alice will have 5/8 x number of sweets.

Equate the number of sweets for Alice in the two cases, which is

$\frac{5}{8}x=\frac{7}{10} x-3\\ \\\frac{7}{10} x-\frac{5}{8} x=3\\$

$\frac{56x-50x}{80} =3\\\\\\\frac{6}{80} x=3\\\\\\6x=80*3\\\\\\x=240/6\\\\x=40$

So there were 40 sweets at first

Using the ratio of 7:3 then

Alice had 7/10 *40 = 28 sweets

Olivia had 3/10*40= 12 sweets

Alice gave Olivia 3 sweets, so she will remain with 28-3 =25 sweets. Olivia will now have 15 sweets.The new ratio will be 25:15 simplified as 5:3.

The value of a car decreases $500 for every 1,000 miles it is driven. The current value of the car is $23,000, and the car is dr

Hoochie [10]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

If we know the value of the car decreases $500 for every 1,000 miles, and that the car is driven about 10,000 miles every year, that means that you need to take the total value of the car (23,000) and subtract it from the amount of money it is losing per year. Again, the car is driven about 10,000 miles per year, so that means that the car will most likely continue to be driven 10,000 miles per year. If you do the math, for one year, the value of the car will drop $5,000 ($500 x 10, because it is $500 per every 1,000 miles) So, for each year, you can just multiply the number of years by $5,000 to find out how much the vehicle has depreciated over time.

Hope this helped you and made sense! Feel free to ask me any questions you have!
