Set x equal to the amount of money Kim gets, and y for Molly's money.
x = 2/5y, since the ratio is 2:5.
y = 105 + x, since Molly has 105 more pounds than Kim.
Substitute x into this equation, so that y = 105 + 2/5y. Subtract 2/5y from both sides to get 3/5y = 105. Divide each side by 0.6 (equivalent to 3/5) and you get y = 175, which is how much Molly has. Kim gets 2/5 of Molly's share (or 105 fewer pounds), so she has 70.
70 + 175 (Kim and Molly's shares) is equal to 245. Therefore, Laura receives the remaining 140 pounds.
140/385 = a/100
Cross multiply so that 385a is 14000. Divide by 385 to get 36.4 (rounded).
Thus, Laura receives about 36.4% of the total money. Hope this helps (:
Step-by-step explanation:
the side on the left of 155 is 180-155 which is 25
the one on top of 120 is 180-120 which is 60 so the one on the right of x is 180-(25+60) which is 95
now the value of x is 180-95 which is 85.
in the second one x=180-100 because the angle on the bottom of x is corresponding to the one that's equal to 100, so x=180-100 which is 80
for the first one x=85
the second one x=80
Answer:
100
Step-by-step explanation:
20/2= 10 and 10 squared is 100 but you have to move the -6 to the opposite side
