Answer:

Runner Up Amount=$16,000

Winner Amount=$64,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of the college's scholarship=$80,000

The fund is being divided between the top two contestants so that the winner receives four times as much as the runner-up.

Therefore: we can say it is being divided into 5 parts where the winner gets 4 parts and the runner up gets 1 part, i.e in the ratio 4:1.

Runner Up Amount=\dfrac{1}{5}X\$ $80,000=\$16000

Winner Amount=\dfrac{4}{5}X\$ $80,000=\$64000

The winner gets $64,000 and the runner up gets $16,000.

The perimeter of a rectangular pen is 136 meters. If the length is 5 meters more than twice the width, what are the dimensions o
Sati [7]

Answer: width = 21, length = 47

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Length (L) = 2w + 5

width (w) = w

Perimeter (P) = 136

P = 2L + 2w

136 = 2(2w + 5) + 2w    <em>substituted the given values above</em>

136 = 4w + 10 + 2w       <em>distributed 2 on the right side</em>

136 = 6w + 10                <em>added like terms (4w and 2w)</em>

126 = 6w                       <em>subtracted 10 from both sides</em>

 21 = w                          <em>divided both sides by 6</em>

Length (L) = 2w + 5

                 = 2(21) + 5

                 = 42 + 5

                  = 47
