Answer: 9 years


Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Ashley be x.

Then the present age of Alfonso =x+8

Five years ago,

Ashley's age = x-5

Alfonso's age = x+8-5 = x+3

According to the question,

x+3=3(x-5)\\\Rightarrow\ x+3=3x-15\\\Rightarrow\ 3x-x=3+15\\\Rightarrow\ 2x=18\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{18}{2}\\\Rightarrow\ x=9

Hence, the present age of Ashley =9 years

the table shows the types of popcorn buckets sold at a concession station for one day. what percent of the buttered popcorn buck
vlada-n [284]
Hi there! The answer is about 23%

First we need to find the total amount of buttered popcorn sold. This is 182 + 140 + 97 = 419 buckets.

To find the percentage of the buttered popcorn buckets that were large, we use the following formula:
\frac{part}{total} \times 100\%

Filling in this formula brings us to our answer:
\frac{97}{419} \times 100\% = 23.15
Hence, the answer is about 23%
