Answer:

The top shelf is 5 feet, the middle shelf is 5.5 feet and the bottom shelf is 9.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t= length of the top shelf, m = length of middle shelf and b = length of bottom shelf.

Therefore:

t = m - 1/2; m = t  + 1/2

Also, b = 2t - 1/2

The total of the three shelves is 20 feet, therefore:

t + m + b = 20

Substituting:

t + t + 1/2 + 2t - 1/2 = 20

4t = 20

t = 20/4

t = 5 feet

m = t + 1/2 = 5 + 1/2 = 5.5 feet

b = 2t - 1/2 = 2(5) - 1/2 = 9.5 feet

The top shelf is 5 feet, the middle shelf is 5.5 feet and the bottom shelf is 9.5 feet

Juan went out to eat dinner, and the meal cost $60.00. If Juan received an 18% discount, what was the total value of the discoun
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The total value of the discount was $10.80.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are finding the value of the discount, we just need to find 18% of 60.

We can convert 18% into a decimal.

18%=0.18

Multiply.

0.18*60=10.8

The total value of the discount was $10.80.
