Hi,
Essentially, we are saying that Alyssa gets 5 parts of the whole thing (140,000), Bart gets 3 parts of the whole and Meghan gets 2 parts of the whole. The sum total of their parts = the whole. So now we need to find out how much one part is. Thus,"one part" should be the variable. Substitute p for "one part", so Alyssa gets 5p, Bart gets 3p, and Meghan gets 2p. Since the sum of the parts = the whole, your problem sets up as: 5p + 3p + 2p = 140,000 --> 10p = 140,000 --> 10p/10 = 140,000/10 --> x = 14,000.
Alyssa gets 5p or (5 x 14,000)
Bart gets 3p or (3 x 14,000)
Meghan gets 2p or (2 x 14,000)
If the whole was a loss, it would be a negative, and instead of getting money, they would lose money.
Answer:
Sale price= $26.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $35
Discount rate= 25%
<u>To calculate the sale price of the sweater, we need to use the following formula:</u>
<u></u>
Sale price= selling price*(1 - discount rate)
Sale price= 35*(1 - 0.25)
Sale price= 35*0.75
Sale price= $26.25
Answer:
x = 5
y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
So move 2y from the second equation to the other side of the equals sign
2x +3y = 13
x = 3 + 2y
From here substitute X into the first equation
2(3 + 2y) + 3y = 13
Distribute
6 + 4y +3y = 13
Combine like terms and solve for y
7y = 7
y = 1
insert result into the original equation.
x-2(1) = 3
x - 2 = 3
x = 5
insert into other equation to check work
2(5) + 3(1) = 13
10 + 3 = 13 correct
Answer:
g= 5
Step-by-step explanation:
8g+10 = 35 + 3g
-3g -3g
5g+10=35
-10 -10
5g= 25
now divide 5 from both sides
5g/5= 25/5
g= 5
