Multiply 6 1/2 inches by total number of miles per 1 inch (12).

= 6 1/2 * 12
convert to improper fraction

= 13/2 * 12
multiply numerators

= (13*12)/2
multiply in parentheses

= 156/2
divide

Papessa [141]

Answer:

The system of linear equations are y=5+x and  x+y=25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of students who chose lunch was 5 more than the number of students who chose breakfast. Let x represent the number of students who chose breakfast and y represent the number of students who chose lunch.

(50 students picked, 25 picked dinner the rest picked lunch and breakfast)

To find : Write a system of linear equations that represents the numbers of students who chose breakfast and lunch ?

Solution :

The number of students who chose breakfast be 'x'

The number of students who chose lunch be 'y'.

The number of students who chose lunch was 5 more than the number of students who chose breakfast.

i.e. y=5+x

Now, Total student were 50 and 25 picked dinner the rest picked lunch and breakfast i.e. 25.

Colin & Brian share a lottery win of £2100 in the ratio 4 : 1. Colin then shares his part between himself, his wife & th
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

His wife gets $336 more than his son.

Step-by-step explanation:

Colin and Brian:

Ratio of 4:1.

So Colin gets \frac{4}{4+1} = \frac{4}{5} of the prize.

\frac{4*2100}{5} = 1680

Colin got $1680. Dividing between himself, his wife and their son:

Ratio of 2:5:3.

So Colin gets \frac{2}{2+3+5} = \frac{2}{10}, his wife gets \frac{5}{2+3+5} = \frac{5}{10} and his son gets \frac{3}{2+3+5} = \frac{3}{10}

Wife:

\frac{5*1680}{10} = 840

His wife got $840.

Son:

\frac{3*1680}{10} = 504

His son got $504.

How much more does his wife get over their son?

840 - 504 = 336

His wife gets $336 more than his son.

A car dealership pays a wholesome price of $12,000 to purchase a vehicle. The car dealership wants to make a 32% profit. The car
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

$102.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take this one part at a time.

the dealership pays 12000 for the car, so they start at -12000 for how much money they have.

The dealership wants to make a 32% profit.  This means they want to make back the 12000 plus 32% of that.  what is 32% of 12000?  just multiply 12000 bty .32  In the end it works out that the price they sell it for is 15840

I do want to mention that there is a chance the 32% might also be accounting the bonus.  So in other words the dealership spent 12000 for the car then however much in paying the bonus, and they want to make a 32% profit on both of these combined.  I do not think that is what it is asking for, but I wanted to mention it.

Anyway, with a sales price of $15,840 it says the bonus is 6.5% of that.  to find that just do the multiplication .065 * 15840 = 1029.60.  So this is the bonus normally.

Now the question says the salesperson offers a 10 percent discount.  This changes the sales price (by 10%) and the bonus they earn.  let's calculate both.

First 10% discount of the sales price is .9*15840 = 14,256

Then 6.5% of that is .065*14256 = 926.64 So this is the new bonus.

The question wants the difference of the two bonuses, and difference is subtraction.  so 1029.60 - 926.64 = 102.96 So if the salesperson offers a 10% discount they lose $102.96
