Answer:

x=12.50

y = 17.50

Step-by-step explanation:

x = Amount of one Derek withdrawal

then amount of John withdrawal =x+5

Total withdrawals of Derek = no of times x one time withdrawal

= 7(x) = 7x ... i

No of John withdrawal = no of times x one time withdrawal

= 5(x+5)  ... ii

Given that i and ii are equal

i.e. 7x =5(x+5)

7x = 5x+25

2x =25

x = 12.50 dollars

Y = 17.50 dollars

Checking part:

total derek withdrawal = 7(12.5) =87.50

Joh's withdrawal = 5(17.50) = 87.50

Since both are equal, our answers are right.

Solution:  Derek withdrew each time 12.50 dollars each for 7 times and John withdrew 17.50 dollars each for 5 times.

a tea company surveyed shoppers at two different malls. shoppers were asked whether they prefer sweetened or unsweetened tea. at
FromTheMoon [43]
First, let's create the ratios of sweetened to unsweetened. To do this, you would have to subtract the number of people that preferred unsweetened from the total.
Westside mall: 15:30 or \frac{15}{30}
Eastside mall: 13:26 or \frac{13}{26}

Now, you would divide to both ratios.
15 ÷ 30 = 0.5
13 ÷ 26 = 0.5 

They have the same sum, meaning, they are the same. 

Westside Mall shoppers are just as likely to prefer unsweetened tea as Eastside Mall shoppers. 

I hope this helps!
