Let the smallest number equal n. Therefore, the other numbers are (n+2) and (n+4).

The sum of the three numbers are:

n + (n+2) + (n+4)

=3n+6

Since the sum equals 78, 

3n+6=78

Divide both sides by 3, 

n+2=26

n=24

Therefore, the smallest number is 24.

valina [46]
She needs to sell around 397 more shirts.

Divide 700 by 20.5. This will give you the amount of shirts she has already raised with is 36 (more accurately 36 6/41). Next divide 8900 by 20.5. This is the amount of shirts she needs to sell in total, which is 434. Subtract these two values.

Which statement is true?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

B. Only 140 is an outlier

Step-by-step explanation:

To properly identify an outlier, you must first know what it is. An outlier is a number that is either a lot higher or a lot lower than the average in a set of numbers. For example, if you had a number set of 1, 3, 4, 6, and 72, you can deduce that 72 is the outlier because it's very far away compared to the other numbers in the set.

In the set that's provided, the numbers tend to range in the double digits, going up in small increments from 15 to 89. However, we can see that 140 is a lot higher than the rest of the numbers in the set, so we can assume that 140 is an outlier.

A company that offers tubing trips down a river rents tubes for a person to use for $20 and “cooler” tubes to carry food and wat
aivan3 [116]

The group rent 11 river rent tubes and 4 cooler tubes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rent for river rent tube = $20

Rent for cooler tubes = $12.50

Total spent = $270

Total tubes rented = 15

Let,

x be the number of river rent tube.

y be the number of cooler tubes.

According to given statement;

x+y=15    Eqn 1

20x+12.50y=270    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 20

20(x+y=15)\\20x+20y=300\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

(20x+20y)-(20x+12.50y)=300-270\\20x+20y-20x-12.50y=30\\7.50y=30

Dividing both sides by 7.5

\frac{7.5y}{7.5}=\frac{30}{7.5}\\y=4

Putting y=4 in Eqn 1

x+4=15\\x=15-4\\x=11

The group rent 11 river rent tubes and 4 cooler tubes.
