Mathematics
1 answer:
AfilCa [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Ben received: £140

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount = £240

Given ratio: 5:7

It means £240 is divided into 12 parts

So 1 part will be equal to:   £240/12

1 part = £20

Now given ratio is:

5:7

Multiplying each share with £20

5*(£20) : 7* (£20)

£100: £140

So according to ratio amounts:

Alex received:  £100

Ben received: £140

I hope it will help you!

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE PLEASE!!!
Galina-37 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

this is really simple : we only need to put the given x and y coordinate values into both equations and see, if both equations remain true.

(-2, -1) means x = -2, y = -1

first equation :

-1 = 3×-2 + 5 = -6 + 5 = -1

so, -1 = -1

true.

second equation :

-2 + -1 = -3

-3 = -3

true.

therefore, (-2, -1) is a solution to the linear system.

the point is the crossing point of both lines.

Find the whole using the percent proportion.
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:390

Step-by-step explanation:

130% of a=507

130/100 x a=507

13/10 x a=507

13a/10=507

Cross multiplying we get

13a=507x10

13a=5070

Divide both sides by 13

13a ➗ 13=5070 ➗ 13

a=390
