Answer:

The answer is explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a word problem, therefore to solve it the statement have to be writing in form of an equation and then solved.

Let the number of fishes caught by Bryan's son be x fishes. Since Bryan caught as many fish as his son, Bryan caught x fishes

Let the number of fishes caught by Elton's son be y fishes. Since Elton caught three times as many fish as his son, Bryan caught 3y fishes

All together, they caught 25 fish

Therefore it can be represented by the equation:

x + x + y + 3y = 25

2x + 4y = 25

2x = 25 - 4y

x = (25 - 4y)/2

The number of fish caught by Bryan is half of the difference between the total fish caught and four times the number of fish caught by Elton son

KATRIN_1 [288]
A] Given that the last years's sales was $144,600 and this years sales should increase by 1/3. Then:
i] Amount the sales should increased by will be:
(last year's sales)*(increase)
=144,600*(1/3)
=48,200

ii] The sales in the new year will be:
(last year's sales)+(increase)
=144600+48600
=$192, 800

2] Given that the sales of hifi which included 6% tax was 205,000. The actual sales was:
Actual percentage sales=100%
percentage sales after taxation=100-6=94%
thus the  actual sales was:
(100)/(94)*205,000
=218, 085.1064

3]Given that the rate per $100 is $0.83, and the insurance was for 90000, the insurance premium will be:
(total insurance) *(unit rate)/(number of units)
plugging the values we obtain:
90000*0.83/100

x= 9.8 meters in 1 second

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be determined by following writing equal ratios that represent a word problem. Then, the denominator must be divided from the numerator to get the unit rate/ meters per second.
