Answer:
She can fill 9 boxes, and will have 4 cookies left over.
Step-by-step explanation:
9 x 12 = 108.
112 - 108 = 4
1) name the variables:
- amount in account 1 "a"
- amount in account 2 "b"
2) trtanslate the statements into equations:
<span>- the
difference between account 1 and account 2 is $100.
=> a - b = 100
- if she uses 3/8 of
account 1 and 7/8 of account 2, Dawn will have a down payment of $2,000.
=> (3/8)a + (7/8)b = 2000
3) solve the system of equations
(1) a - b = 100
(2) (3/8)a + (7/8b) = 2000
Steps:
- multiply equation (1) by 7 and equaton (2) by 8
=>
(1) 7a - 7b = 700
(2) 3a + 7b = 16,000
- add the two equations
=>
7a + 3a - 7b + 7b = 700 + 16,000
- combine like terms:
10a = 16,700
- divide by 10:
a = 16,700 / 10 = 1670
- use equation (1) to find b:
a - b = 100 => b = a - 100 = 1670 - 100 = 1570
Answer: Dawn has $ 1670 in account 1 and
$ 1570 in account 2.

Answer:
79
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of marbles = 5 + 8 + 7 = 20
Total number of non-red marbles = 5 + 7 = 12
P(not red) = 12/20 = 3/5
-
Answer: 3/5
If we take the paycheck amount of $1020 and subtract it by the weekly salary of $300.
$1020 - $300 = $720
We get $720 in sale commissions. So to get the number of sales, you divide the $720 by the $40 per sale commission.
$720/$40 = 18
Therefore, the sales Salesman B has for the week is 18.
