Answer: Paul gets £186

Step-by-step explanation:

Paul has 1/2 as much as Malachy, and Brian has 1/3 as much Paul, therefore Brian has 1/6 as much as Malachy.

1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6

So Malachy’s amount equals 1 in this equation, Paul’s amount equals 1/2 in this equation, and Brian’s amount equals 1/6 in this equation.

1 + 1/2 + 1/6 = 1 + 3/6 + 1/6 = 1 4/6

Now, divide 620 by 1 4/6 to find Malachy’s amount.

620/1 4/6 = 372

Now, divde 372 by 2 to get Paul’s amount.

372/2 = 186

lora16 [44]
In other words, you know that 50 percent of a number is 34 and you want to know what that initial number is.

To solve this problem you multiply 34 by 100 and then divide the total by 50 as follows:

(34 x 100) / 50

When we put that into our calculator, we get the following answer:

Find all angles and pls show steps ​
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Both angles have a measure of 134degrees, y = 27degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per what is given in the problem:

There are 2 parallel lines, both are intersected by a transversal.

Remember the theorem, when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the alternate exterior angles are congruent.

The is meanse that:

3y + 53 = 7y - 55

Solve using inverse operations:

3y + 53 = 7y - 55

     +55         +55

3y + 108 = 7y

-3y            -3y

108 = 4y

/4      /4

27 = y

Now, substitute back in to find the value of the angle:

3y + 53

y = 27

3 ( 27 ) + 53

81 + 53

= 134

Since the angles are alternate exterior, they are congruent, hence both angles have a measure of 134degrees.
