In order to divide $306 into the ratio of 9 to 5 to 3, first you have to make each section of the ratio represented by a variable, and put it into an equation.
9x + 5x + 3x = 306
Our next step is to simplify the left side of the equation by combining all of the like terms, the ones that contain variables.
17x = 306
Finally, to solve this equation, you have to divide both sides by 17 to isolate the variable x on the left side of the equation.
x = 18
However, this is not our answer as it isn't in a ratio format and doesn't really make sense. To find our ratio, we have to multiply each of our initial numbers (9, 5, and 3) by our variable, x.
9 * 18 = 162
5 * 18 = 90
3 * 18 = 54
You can verify that these numbers are correct because if you add them together you get 306.
Your final ratio is 162:90:54.
Hope this helps! :)
If you have a separate specific question about pre-tax prices and PMed me the link, I'd be happy to help you.
Both of these problems will be solved in a similar way, but with different numbers. First, we set up an equation with the values given. Then, we solve. Lastly, we plug into the original expressions to solve for the angles.
[23] ABD = 42°, DBC = 35°
(4x - 2) + (3x + 2) = 77°
4x+ 3x + 2 - 2 = 77°
4x+ 3x= 77°
7x= 77°
x= 11°
-
ABD = (4x - 2) = (4(11°) - 2) = 44° - 2 = 42°
DBC = (3x + 2) = (3(11°) + 2) = 33° + 2 = 35°
[24] ABD = 62°, DBC = 78°
(4x - 8) + (4x + 8) = 140°
4x + 4x + 8 - 8 = 140°
4x + 4x = 140°
8x = 140°
8x = 140°
x = 17.5°
-
ABD = (4x - 8) = (4(17.5°) - 8) = 70° - 8° = 62°
DBC =(4x + 8) = (4(17.5°) + 8) = 70° + 8° = 78°
Answer:
Five groups of five tenths and nine hundredths
Step-by-step explanation:
Mathematically;
2.36 divided by 4 = 0.59
So we want to select from the options, the best representation of this
That will be
0.5 + 0.09
so our answer is 5 groups of five tents and nine hundredths
