C. "David's equation is correct, because their spending will be multiplied by the number of months and then subtracted from their savings"
they are technically saying "Look we have 12,350 to use. How long (y) will the savings (12,350) last after using 240 each month (x)
so the amount they use *PER* month gets subtracted from the savings because they are using that money to pay with
Hope this helps :)
For this, we use simultaneous equations. Let George's page be g, Charlie's be c and Bill's page be b.
First, <span>George's page contains twice as many type words as Bill's.
Thus, g = 2b.
</span><span>Second, Bill's page contains 50 fewer words than Charlie's page.
Thus, b = c - 50.
</span>If each person can type 60 words per minute, after one minute (i.e. when 60 more words have been typed) <span>the difference between twice the number of words on bills page and the number of words on Charlie's page is 210.
We can express that as 2b - c = 210.
Now we need to find b, since it represents Bill's page.
We can substitute b for (c - 50) since b = c - 50, into the equation 2b - c = 210. This makes it 2(c - 50) - c = 210.
We can expand this to 2c - 100 - c = 210.
We can simplify this to c - 100 = 210.
Add 100 to both sides.
c - 100 + 100 = 210 + 100
Then simplify: c = 210 + 100 = 310.
Now that we know c, we can use the first equation to find b.
b = c - 50 = 310 - 50 = 260.
260 is your answer. I don't know where George comes into it. Maybe it's a red herring!</span>
So it’ll be 42 divided by 6 since u want to know how many servings of 6 ounces can be served from a 42 pound bag
So 42/6= 7
Where is the question. though
So since a percent is out of 100 you would put 11/20 and right an equal sign next to that and the bottom fraction would be x/100. Then you would find the relationship between 100 and 20. 20 times 5 is 100 so then 11 times 5 is 55. 55% is your answer
