Let m be the amount of money he had

m - (1/3)m - 5 = (1/2)m
(2/3)m - 5 = (1/2)m
Subtract both sides by (1/2)m
(2/3 - 1/2)m - 5 = 0
(1/6)m - 5 = 0
Add both sides by 5
(1/6)m = 5
Multiply both sides by 6
m = 30

Peter started with 30 dollars.

Have an awesome day! :)

How many flowers, spaced every 6 inches, are needed to surround a circular garden with a 10 foot radius?
Stolb23 [73]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You must calculate the perimeter of the circle:

The radius of the circle in inches is:

radius=\frac{(10ft)(12in)}{1ft}=120in

P=2\pi(radius)\\  P=2\pi(120in)\\ P=753.98in

2. Now, you must divide the perimeter by the space between each flower to find the number of flowers needed, which you can call x:

x=\frac{753.98in}{6in}=125.6=126

The answer is: 126 flowers.
