In order to divide $306 into the ratio of 9 to 5 to 3, first you have to make each section of the ratio represented by a variable, and put it into an equation.
9x + 5x + 3x = 306
Our next step is to simplify the left side of the equation by combining all of the like terms, the ones that contain variables.
17x = 306
Finally, to solve this equation, you have to divide both sides by 17 to isolate the variable x on the left side of the equation.
x = 18
However, this is not our answer as it isn't in a ratio format and doesn't really make sense. To find our ratio, we have to multiply each of our initial numbers (9, 5, and 3) by our variable, x.
9 * 18 = 162
5 * 18 = 90
3 * 18 = 54
You can verify that these numbers are correct because if you add them together you get 306.
Your final ratio is 162:90:54.
Hope this helps! :)

Answer:
Slope: 
Equation: 
Step-by-step explanation:
The line of the best fit passes through the points (0,8) and (4,6).
If the line passes through the points 
and 
then the slope of the line is
Hence, the slope of the line of the best fit is
The equation of the line is
where m is the slope and b is y-intercept, so the equation of the line of the best fit is
For one semester a School A-
750 + 200 = 950
For one semester at School B-
10 percent off of 1,000 is 900
School A- $950
School B- $900
