After understanding the problem, formulate equations to determine the unknown. Let x be the price of one book. Equating Alana&Petra's expense with Angus' would be
5x + 4x +5 = 19x - 10
The 5 in the left side is needed because Angus' expense is $5 more. Also, the 10 on the right side represents the $10 discount. Solving the equation,
19x = 9x = 5+10
10x = 15
x = $1.5
Therefore, the book costs $1.5.
Answer:
He had 0.8 liters to start with...
Step-by-step explanation:
0.44 is 55% of what? (what = x)
Equation: Y = P% * X
X = Y/P%
X = 0.44/55%
55% = 0.55
X = 0.44/0.55
X = 0.8
Just do the whole process backwards
700*0.01=7
7-2.84=4.16
4.16/0.8=5.2
5.2+1.05=6.25
Answer:
Samantha's age = 27 years
Step-by-step explanation:
As Samantha is one year less than twice her brother Jack’s age.
As the sum of their ages is 41.
Thus, the equation become
x+2x-1 = 41
3x-1 = 41
3x = 42
Dividing both sides by 3
x = 14
It indicates that Jack's age = 14 years
Therefore,
Samantha's age = 2x-1 = 2(14)-1 = 27 years
Answer:
? = 55
Step-by-step explanation:
if we put the triangles onto of each other
side CT is on top of TR
126 ÷ 70 = 1.8
70 × 1.8 = 126
BT is on top of TS
so,
99 ÷ ? = 1.8
99 = 1.8 × ?
99 ÷ 1.8 = ?
55 = ?
55 × 1.8 = 99
