(a) Wayne's savings before he spent $28 is $30.

(b) Stef's savings after she spent $28 is $8.

Solution:

Ratio of Wayne's savings to Stef's savings = 5 : 6

Let x be the common amount they have.

After spending $28 each, the ratio becomes 1 : 4.

5x – 28 : 6x – 28 = 1 : 4

This can be written in a fraction form.

$\Rightarrow\frac{5x-28}{6x-28}=\frac{1}{4}

Do cross multiplication.

$\Rightarrow 4(5x-28)}=1({6x-28})

$\Rightarrow 20x-112=6x-28

Arrange like term one side.

$\Rightarrow 20x-6x=112-28

$\Rightarrow 14x=84

⇒ x = 6

(a) Wayne's savings before he spent $28 = 5x = 5(6) = $30

(b) To find stef's savings after spent $28:

Stef's savings before she spent $28 = 6x = 6(6) = $36

Stef's savings after she spent $28 = $36 – $28 = $8

Hence Wayne's savings before he spent $28 is $30

Stef's savings after she spent $28 is $8.

a) Wayne's savings before he spent $28 is $30

b) Stef's savings after she spent $28 is $8

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

step 1 :

let,

Wayne's savings = 5x

Stef's savings = 6x

step 2 :

After spending $28 each of them, The ratio becomes 1/4.

⇒ (28 - 5x) / (28 - 6x) = 1/4

⇒ 4(28 - 5x) = 1 (28 - 6x)

⇒ 112 - 20x = 28 - 6x

⇒ 112 - 28 = 20x - 6x

⇒ 84 = 14 x

x = 84/4 = 6

step 3 :

a) Wayne's savings before he spent $28 = 5x

substitute x=6,

Wayne's savings = 5(6) = $30

step 4 :

b) Stef's savings after she spent $28 = Total savings - $28

                                                             = 6x - 28

                                                             = 6(6) - 28

∴ Stef's savings after she spent $28  = 36 - 28 =$8

Studentka2010 [4]
First, you need to convert 5 1/4 feet to inches. 5.25 x 12 = 63 inches. The ratio of the height of the model to the height of the actual statue in simplest form is 1/42. I don't know if this is correct but I hope this helps you in any way.

Can someone plz help me solved this problem! I’m giving you 10 points! I need help plz help me! Will mark you as brainiest!
Kobotan [32]

Answer:  $2 or $9

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Revenue (R) = $1800 , x = 1100 - 100p

R = xp

1800 = (1100 - 100p)p             <em>substituted x with 1100 - 100p</em>

1800 = 1100p - 100p²             <em>distributed p into 1100 - 100p</em>

100p² - 1100p + 1800 = 0       <em>added 100p² & subtracted 1100p</em> on both sides

     p² - 11p + 18 = 0                <em>divided both sides by 100</em>

(p - 2) (p - 9) = 0                     <em>factored quadratic equation</em>

p = 2  p = 9                         <em>applied Zero Product Property to solve for p</em>

A patio 2 pairs of two parallel sides and 2 pairs of sides that are the same length there are 4 square corners what shape is the
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The patio is a rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is given that we have 2 pairs of two parallel sides, which implies 4 sides, this thus shows that the shape is a quadrilateral since, only quadrilaterals have 4 sides. Also, 2 pairs of sides are the same length, and are parallel, it shows that the shape is likely a rectangle.

Finally, there are 4 square corners on the shape which implies 4 right angles. This confirms that our shape is a rectangle since only a rectangle has 2 pairs of two parallel sides and 2 pairs of sides that are the same length there are 4 square corners.

So, the patio is a rectangle.
