Let n represent the amount Colin earned on Sunday.
On Sat. he earned n/2; on Sun. he earned n; and on Friday he earned (1/2)(n/2).
Then n/2 + n + n/4 = $70
Mult. all terms by 4 to eliminate fractions:
2n + 4n + n = $280
7n = $280 => n = $40
Colin earned n/2, or $20, on Saturday; n, or $40, on Sunday; and n/4, or $10, on Friday.
Note that $20 and $40 and $10 add up to $70, as they must.
Answer:
Angelina should buy 9 packs of pens and 8 packs of pencils.
Step-by-step explanation:
Each pack of pens = 8 pens
Each pack of pencils = 9 pencils.
Also we know that, Commutative Property of Multiplication states that
a x b = b x a for any two numbers a and b.
So, 8 x 9 = 72 = 9 x 8
Hence, she should buy 9 packs of pens, so she will have 9 x 8 = 72 pens.
And she should buy 8 packs of pencils, she will have 8 x 9 = 72 pencils.
Answer:
1 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
3 1/2 boxes of tomatoes currently. uses 1 3/4, taking it away basically.
3 1/2 - 1 3/4
3 2/4 - 1 3/4 ;; i did this with finding a common denominator for it to be easier for me to solve.
3 - 1 = 2
2/4 - 3/4 = -1/4
2 + -1/4 = 1 3/4
correct me if wrong.
