Well first you would start by setting up with a proportion.
In total, the girls paid $54+$22= $76
Thus 1 sister contributed $54/$76=x/100
The other sister contributed $22/$76=x/76
For each proportion, cross-multiply and simplify to get the percentage. The percentage will be the x

You and your sister bought your mom a gift.
You paid $54 and your sister paid $22.
Because 54 + 22 = $76, the gift cost a total of $76.

To figure out what percentage each sister paid, you divide what they paid by the total cost.

Thus, because you paid $54, the percentage of the gift that you bought is 54/76 ≈ 0.71 = 71%

Therefore, because your sister paid $22, the percentage of the gift that she bought is 22/76 ≈ 0.29 = 29%

You bought 71% of the gift and your sister bought 29% of the gift.

sdas [7]

Answer:

135 square ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, you need to find the area of this rectangle. Area is always base x height, or in this case, length x width. Now you multply your length, 15', by your width, 9', to get your answer, 135 square feet. When you multiply two measurments of the same unit together, you get square (units), which simply means that you multiplied two of the same unit of measurment together.

What is the focus of the parabola?<br><br> y=−14x2−2x−2
nataly862011 [7]
First, we need to transform the equation into its standard form (x - h)²=4p(y - k).
Using completing the square method:

y = -14x² - 2x - 2
y = -14(x² + 2x/14) - 2
y = -14(x² + 2x/14 + (2/28)²) -2 + (2/28)²
y = -14(x + 1/14)² - 391/196
-1/14(y + 391/196) = (x + 1/14)²

This is a vertical parabola and its focus <span>(h, k + p) is (-1/14, -391/196 + 1/56) = (-1/14, -775/392).

Or (-0.071,-1.977).</span>

because you set up your problem: 3c+2+2c-7=90
then combine all like terms: 5c-5=90
Add 5 to both sides: 5c=95
then divide both sides by 5: c=19
Plug in your answer: 3(19)+2=59
