Financial planners recommend that families save about 5% of their take-home pay. Ed and Sherrie save $90 each pay period from th
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Ed and Sheerie save 7.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

Ed and Sherrie save $90 each pay period from their combined paychecks, which total $1200. What percent do Ed and Sherrie save?

How much of $1200 is $90? $1200 is 100% = 1, $90 = x. So

$1200 - 1

$90 - x

1200x = 90

x = \frac{90}{1200}

x = 0.075

Ed and Sheerie save 7.5%.

Jill and Jack are exercising at a beach. They both start from the car park at one end of the beach. Jill runs at a constant spee
mina [271]

Jack is at (2/3) of the length of the beach (measuring from the point where they started).

<h3>How far along the beach will Jack be when JIll next passes him?</h3>

Let's think that the whole beach is like a line track of length L.

We know that when Jill completes reaches the end (one complete run) Jack only completed half of it.

So in the time that jill covers the distance L, Jack covers a distance of L/2. So the ratio of their speeds is 2:1 (Jill's speed is double of Jack's speed).

At this point, Jill is on the end of the track and Jack is on the middle, so the distance between them is L/2.

Because of the ratios between the speeds, we know that when they meet again, Jill will have covered 2 thirds of that distance, and jack will cover the other third of that distance.

A third of that distance is:

(L/2)/3 = L/6

So, when they meet, Jack is at L/6 of the middle of the beach, which means that Jack is:

L/2 + L/6 = 3L/6 + L/6 = 4L/6 = 2L/3

Jack is at (2/3) of the length of the beach (measuring from the point where they started).
