We have 3 people: Paul, Daniel and Patricia. Let each name denote that person’s current age in years. Remember that % is the symbol for 1/100.
PAUL: (#A) Paul = Patricia – 2
DANIEL:
(#B) Daniel = 125% * Patricia = 125 * (1/100) * Patricia = 1.25 * Patricia
(#C) Ten years ago, Daniel’s age at that time would have been Daniel’s current age – 10. IE “Daniel – 10”.
Ten years ago, Patricia’s age at that time would have been Patricia’s current age – 10. IE “Patricia – 10”.
Ten years ago, Daniel’s age at that time (IE Daniel – 10) was 50% greater than Patricia’s age at the time (Patricia – 10).
IE
Daniel – 10 = 150% * (Patricia – 10)
Daniel – 10 = 1.50 * (Patricia – 10)
Daniel – 10 = 1.50 * Patricia – 1.50 * 10
Daniel – 10 = 1.50 * Patricia – 15
Daniel = 1.50 * Patricia – 15 + 10
Daniel = 1.50 * Patricia – 5
So now we have 3 equations in 3 unknowns:
(A) Paul = Patricia – 2
(B) Daniel = 1.25 * Patricia
(C) Daniel = 1.50 * Patricia – 5
Solve equations B & C simultaneously
1.25 * Patricia = 1.50 * Patricia – 5
1.25 * Patricia – 1.50 * Patricia = – 5
– 0.25 * Patricia = – 5
Patricia = (– 5) / (– 0.25)
Patricia = + 20
So now we can write the 3 people’s ages:
(a) Patricia = 20
(b) Paul = Patricia – 2 = 20 – 2 = 18
(c) Daniel = 1.25 * Patricia = 1.25 * 20 = 25

</span>
<span>Finally, we check our solution against the original question. </span>
Paul is two years younger than Patricia. ……… 20 – 2 = 18 ✔
Daniel is 25% older than Patricia. ……… 25 = 125% * 20 ✔
Ten years ago, Daniel was 50% older than Patricia. 25 – 10 = 150% (20– 10) ✔
Hope that helped :)
I think it’s (3,4) the third answer
Follow these steps:
-8.4b - 4.2 = 12.6
Add 4.2 on both sides:
-8.4b = 16.8
Divide by -8.4 on both sides to give you the final answer of:
b = -2
So you're answer is indeed correct! Hope this helps and that the steps are clear enough!
Answer:
120
Step-by-step explanation:
Split up the boxes to help you achieve the answer.
The team-lead gets $2000 if the team of 3 QA testers and l QA team lead is working on a project. The team finishes the job and is paid.
<h3>What is average?</h3>
It is defined as the single number that represents the mean value for the given set of data or the closed value for each entry given in the set of data.
Let's suppose the team lead salary is x and the team-lead receives, $600 more than the average salary of the entire team then,
The team lead salary:
4x = 3600+ x+ 2400
3x = 6000
x = $2000
Thus, the team lead gets $2000 if the team of 3 QA testers and l QA team lead is working on a project. The team finishes the job and is paid.
