Let x = cost of the dishwasher.

The amounts the children are paying are:

Mark =20% = 1/5, so 1/5x

Sorin = 75

Raymond = 1/4x

Stephanie = 75

Kristin = 1/3x

Add them together:

x = 1/5x + 1/4x + 1/3x + 75 + 75

x - ( 1/5x + 1/4x + 1/3x ) = 150

Rewrite fractions with common denominator:

x - ( 12/60x + 15/60x + 20/60x ) = 150

60/60x - 47/60x = 150

13/60x = 150

x = 150/1 • 60/13

x = 9000/13

x = 692.31

The total cost of the dishwasher is $692.31

Now calculate the amount each child pays:

Mark = 1/5 x = 692.31/ 5 = $138.46

Sorin = $75.00

Raymond = 1/4 x = 692.31 / 4 = $173.08

Stephanie = $75.00

Kristin = 1/3 x = 692.31 / 3 = $230.77

One serving of a cereal is 3/4 cup. Each box of cereal has about 9 cups of cereal and costs $3.80. Is the price per serving grea

Goryan [66]

Answer:

The price per serving is $0.315, therefore, it's less than $0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the price per serving, we can first calculate the price per cup, this is done by dividing the total value of the box by the number of cups it can serve:

$price_{cup} = \frac{3.8}{9} = 0.42$

Since each serving is $\frac{3}{4}$ of a cup, then it's price has the same proportion and is given by:

$price_{serving} = \frac{3}{4}*0.42 = 0.315$

The price per serving is $0.315, therefore, it's less than $0.5

A father is 60 years old and his son is half his age how old was the boy when his father was four times his age

mr Goodwill [35]

F=60, s=60/2=30

(60-x)/(30-x)=4

60-x=120-4x

60+3x=120

3x=60

x=20

s=30-x

s=30-20

s=10

So the boy was 10 years old when his father was four times his age.
