Let total amount spent =x

Dita spent 35 % of total amount.

35% of x = 0.35x

So amount spent by Dita = 0.35x

% of money spent by Benton = 20 % of x = 0.2x

We are given that Benton spent $12 more than Claire,

so making equation we have ,

Money spent by Dita = Money spent by Claire +12

0.35x =0.2x +12

0.35x -0.2x = 12

0.5x =12

x=80

So total amount spent was $80.

Money spent by Benton = 0.2x = 0.2 * 80= $16

So amount spent by Benton is $16.

Complete the point-slope equation of the line through (2,3)(2,3)left parenthesis, 2, comma, 3, right parenthesis and (7,4)(7,4)l
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{5}x +\frac{13}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x_1,y_1) = (2,3)

(x_2,y_2) = (7,4)

Required

Complete the equation y - 4.....

First, we need to determine the slope as follows:

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

m = \frac{4 - 3}{7 - 2}

m = \frac{1}{5}

The equation is then calculated as thus:

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

This gives:

y - 4 = \frac{1}{5}(x -7)

Open bracket

y - 4 = \frac{1}{5}x -\frac{7}{5}

Add 4 to both sides

y - 4 +4= \frac{1}{5}x -\frac{7}{5} + 4

y = \frac{1}{5}x -\frac{7}{5} + 4

y = \frac{1}{5}x +\frac{-7+20}{5}

y = \frac{1}{5}x +\frac{13}{5}

If the sum of four consecutive numbers is 854, what is the third one?
lukranit [14]

Answer:

214

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up would be x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 854, naturally as the numbers are consecutive. Solving for x:

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 854,

x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 854,

4x + 1 + 2 + 3 = 854,

4x + 6 = 854,

4x = 854 - 6 = 848,

x = 848/4 = 212

The third number then should be 212 + 2 = 214
