K=kevin age
d=daniel ae

k is 3 times d
k=3d

4 years ago (k-4 and d-4)
kevin was 5 times as old as dan

k-4=5(d-4)

we have
k=3d
and
k-4=5(d-4)
sub 3d for k in second euaiton
3d-4=5(d-4)
3d-4=5d-20
minus 3d both sides
-4=2d-20
add 20 both sides
16=2d
divide 2
8=d
sub back
k=3d
k=3(8)
k=24

kevin is 24

K = Kevin's age
D = Daniel's age

K = 3D

K - 4 = 5(D - 4)

Plug in 3D for the K values in the second equation.

3D - 4 = 5(D - 4)   Use the Distributive Property
3D - 4 = 5D - 20   Add 4 to both sides
     3D = 5D - 16     Subtract 5D from both sides
    -2D = -16            Divide both sides by -2
       D = 8 
 Now, plug that D value into the original equation.

K = 3D    Plug in the D value
K = 3(8)   Multiply
K = 24

Finally, you can double check your math.

4 years ago, Daniel would've been 4 and Kevin would be 20, so Kevin would've been 5 times as old as Daniel.  And 8 x 3 = 24.

So, Kevin is 24.

A cell phone that regular costs $780 is on sale for 15% off. What is the total cost of the phone if you have to pay 5.5% sales t
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

$700

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

Regular cost of cell phone= $780

discount = 15%

tax = 5.5%

Step two

Let us compute the discounted amount

= 15/100*780

=0.15*780

=$117

hence the selling price is

=780-117

=$663

Also, the tax-deductible is

=5.5/100*663

=0.055*663

=$36.465

The total cost of the phone will be

=663+36.465

=699.465

=$700 to the nearest cent

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

RM3,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Salary=RM375 per week

5% commission per week

If she target a minimum of RM 550.

Let x=minimum Sales

RM550=RM375 + 5% of x

RM550=RM375 + 0.05x

RM550 - RM375=0.05x

RM175=0.05x

Divide both sides by 0.05

RM175/0.05=0.05x/0.05

RM3,500=x

For Azila to earn a minimum of RM550 in a week, her salary will be RM375 plus 5% commission on the sales of RM3,500 value of product.

Check:

5% of RM3,500

=0.05*3,500

=RM175

Plus

Salary of RM375

RM175 + RM375=RM550

What is the surface area of the sphere below?
tatiyna

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

To find the surface area of a sphere, here is what you do.

You square the radius.

4²=16

You multiply by 4.

16×4=64

And you multiply by pi!

64×π=64π

Therefore, the surface area of the sphere is A. 64π units². It's that easy!

Now you can find the surface area of a sphere! Have a wonderful day! :D

Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle if a = 3 and b = 4.
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

5..(b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras theorem states that

Hypotenuse(squared)=opposite(squared)+ adjacent(squared)

hypotenuse=?,opposite=3,adjacent=4

hyp(squared)=3(squared)+4(squared)

hyp(squared)=9+16

hyp(squared)=25

find the square root of both sides

hypotenuse=5
