U have to times by 2 it will it will change
First of all, this shouldn't be in high school category.
Second, 20 divided by 2 is 10. Dividing is like subtraction. You would subtract 20 by 2, and you would find that after 10 times, you will get to zero.
Jelly beans - $0.98 per pound
chocolate drops - $0.67 per pounds
Terri's bag = 2.1 pounds and $1.56
p = represents the pounds jelly beans.
c = represents the pounds in chocolate drops
p + c = 2.1
0.98p + 0.67c = 1.56
c = 2.1 - p ; number of pounds of chocolate drops
0.98p + 0.67(2.1 - p) = 1.56
0.98p + 1.41 - 0.67p = 1.56
0.98p - 0.67p = 1.56 - 1.41
0.31p = 0.15
p = 0.15/0.31
p = 0.48 pounds of jelly beans
c = 2.1 - 0.48
c = 1.62 pounds of chocolate drops.
If the total age of both April and Amy are 53
And Amy is 9 years younger than april.
Then to solve for Amy's age you would subtract 9 from 53 and divide by 2
which equals 22
Since amy is 9 years younger than April, then April's age is Amy's age 22 + 9 which gives you 31
April's age is 31 and Amy's age is 22
