Set x equal to the amount of money Kim gets, and y for Molly's money.
x = 2/5y, since the ratio is 2:5.
y = 105 + x, since Molly has 105 more pounds than Kim.
Substitute x into this equation, so that y = 105 + 2/5y. Subtract 2/5y from both sides to get 3/5y = 105. Divide each side by 0.6 (equivalent to 3/5) and you get y = 175, which is how much Molly has. Kim gets 2/5 of Molly's share (or 105 fewer pounds), so she has 70.
70 + 175 (Kim and Molly's shares) is equal to 245. Therefore, Laura receives the remaining 140 pounds.
140/385 = a/100
Cross multiply so that 385a is 14000. Divide by 385 to get 36.4 (rounded).
Thus, Laura receives about 36.4% of the total money. Hope this helps (:
Answer:
no noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 2 or 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
-13/4 -x= 1/2x -1
Collect like terms
-13/4+1=1/2x+x
Using LCM
(-13+4)/4=(1+2x²)/2x
9/4=(1+2x²)/2x
Cross multiply
9(2x)=4(1+2x²)
18x=4+8x²
Turn into quadratic and solve
8x²-18x+4
Using formulae method
-b±(√b²-4ac)/2a
Where a=8, b= -18 and c=4
(-(-18)±(√(-18)²-4(8)(4))/2(8)
(18±(√324-128))/16
(18±√196)/16
(18±14)/16
(18+14)/16 or (18-14)/16
32/16 or 4/16
2 or 1/4
