Answer:

5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Jason's original weight = 120 pounds

Let the no. of months be m

If he gains 10 pounds in each moth , then his weight in m months will be = 10m

His total weight will be= 120+10m  -----(1)

Gerardo's original weight = 150 pounds

If he gains 4 pounds in each month , then his weight in m months will me =4m

His total weight will be = 150+4m-----(2)

<u>Equating (1) ans(2)</u>

120+10m=150+4m

=>10m-4m=150-120

=>6m=30

=>m=\frac{30}{6}

<u>=>m=5</u>

It will take 5 months for Jason to weigh the same as Gerardo

If the tax rate is 9.5%. determine how much tax you will need to pay on your order
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

In order to calculate the sales tax of an item, we need to first multiply the pre-tax cost of the item by the sales tax percentage after it has been converted into a decimal. Once the sales tax has been calculated it needs to be added to the pre-tax value in order to find the total cost of the item.

A movie theater complex gave a poll as viewers exited from two theaters showing the same film. They had a 20% response rate from
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Let´s define the variables:

x = number of people in theater A

y = number of people in theater B

We know that a 20% (or 0.2 in decimal form) of the people in theater A answered the survey, then the number of people from theater A that answered the survey is: Na = 0.2*x

We know that a 30% (or 0.3 in decimal form) of the people in theater B answered the survey, then the number of people from theater B that answered the survey is: Nb = 0.3*y

There where 800 people in total (counting from the two theatres)

Then x + y = 800.

A) In this case we have:

Na = Nb

this means that:

0.2*x = 0.3*y

and we also have the equation:

x  + y = 800

To solve this, we need to isolate one variable in one of the equations, i will isolate x in the second equation:

x = 800 - y

And now we can replace this in the other equation to get:

0.2*(800 - y) = 0.3*y

We need to solve this for y:

160 - 0.2*y = 0.3*y

160 = 0.3*y + 0.2*y = 0.5*y

160/0.5 = y = 320

Then there where 320 people in theater B, and:

x + y = 800

x + 320 = 800

x = 800 - 320 = 480

There where 480 people in theather A.

B) Now we have:

x = 440

y = 360

then:

Na = 0.2*440 = 88

In theater A, 88 people answered the survey.

Nb = 0.3*360 = 108

In theater B, 108 people answered the survey.

In total, 88 + 108 = 196 people answered the survey.
