If <em>x</em> is the smallest of the three, then the next two integers are <em>x</em> + 2 and <em>x</em> + 4.
"Twice the largest is 20 less than the sum of all three" translates to
2 (<em>x</em> + 4) = (<em>x</em> + (<em>x</em> + 4) + (<em>x</em> + 6)) - 20
Solve for <em>x</em> :
2<em>x</em> + 8 = 3<em>x</em> - 10
<em>x</em> = 18
Then the three numbers are {18, 20, 22}.
Your answer would be 3.4
Anything under 5 it stays the same and anything over 5 it goes up one
5% of $55 is $2.75 so the total should be $57.75??
The answer is b) 70 words per minute. If you divide 245 by 3.5, you get 70. So, the answer is 70 words per minute.
