<h3>Answer: 28 dollars</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

G = amount of money George starts with

T = amount of money Tia starts with

Initially the ratio of their money is 9:4 so G/T = 9/4. Solve for G to get G = (9/4)T.

--------

After George spends 24 dollars he's left with (G-24) dollars. Tia gains 11 dollars so she has (T+11) dollars. They have the same amount of money after these two events occur, so G-24 = T+11.

Plug in G = (9/4)T and solve for T

G-24 = T+11

(9/4)T-24 = T+11 ... replace G with (9/4)T

4*[  (9/4)T-24 ] = 4*[ T+11 ] ... multiply both sides by 4 to clear out fraction

9T - 96 = 4T + 44 ... distribute

9T - 4T = 44 + 96

5T = 140

T = 140/5

T = 28

Tia started off with 28 dollars. We could stop here because your teacher is only asking about Tia's initial amount.

----------

If you want to find how much George started with, then plug T = 28 into G = (9/4)T to get...

G = (9/4)T

G = (9/4)*28

G = 2.25*28

G = 63

George started off with 63 dollars

The ratio of 63:28 reduces to 9:4 after dividing both parts by the GCF 7. This confirms the first fact we're given.

Notice how 63 drops to 63-24 = 39 after George spends $24. At the same time, Tia's amount increases to 28+11 = 39, which is the same as George's updated amount. Both facts match the description, so we have confirmed the answer.

Kam can make 72 cookies in 3 hours at his house, while Madison can make 120 cookies in 4 hours at her house. How long would it t
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 3.7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Kam can make 72 cookies/ 3 hours

Madison can make 120 cookies/4 hours

Time to make 200 cookies together = ?

First, calculate the number of cookies make per hour

Kam            72 ---------------- 3

                   x   ----------------  1 hour

  x = 72/3 = 24 cookies/h

Madison

             120 -------------   4 hours

               x ---------------      1 hour

x = 120 / 4 = 30 cookies

Now we write and equation where "t" will be time

         24t + 30t = 200      and solve it

         54t = 200

        t = 200/54

        t = 3.7 hours
