Answer:
216 cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
Let the total cookies in the first place be x cookies.
Their ratio = 5:12:9
Total = 5+12+9 = 26.
Weiming share = (5/26)x = 5x/26
If weiming sold 28 cookies
⇒ (5x/26)-28
⇒ (5x-728)/28
Hence Weiming new share = (5x-728)/28 cookies
The new ratio is 1:8:6
The total cookies becomes = x-28
Therefore,
(1/15)(x-28) = (5x-728)/28
(x-28)/15 = (5x-728)/28
Crossmultiply
28(x-28) = 15(5x-728)
28x-784 = 75x-10920
Collect like terms
28x-75x = -10920+784
-47x = -10136
x = -10136/-47
x = 215.7
x ≈ 216 cookies
Answer:
1117 km
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the two cities are approximately on the same North-South line, they are on the same longitude. The difference in their latitudes is 39° - 29° = 10°. We are subtracting because they are both in the northern hemisphere. The distance between them is
Answer:
Michael = x÷7
lee = 2(x÷7)
(x÷7)+2(x÷7)
Step-by-step explanation:
since he earns x dollars every seven days, to get the amount he earns, you divide that amount by 7 and for Lee, she gets twice as much so you multiply Michael's amount by 2
5x-3x=-6
2x=-6
x=-3
x equals -3 is the answer.
So the person is out of pocket of $10.00
