8/9 - 1/5
= 5(8/9)-9(1/5)
=(40/45)-(9/45)
=31/45
therefore 31/45 of the estate would go to the American cancer society
Answer:
The pair of shoes equal 18.
The boat equals 3
The chair equals 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = shoes
You found the palm trees!
So the top picture would be
18 + x = 2x Subtract x from both sides
18 = x We found the value of the shoes.
Let's go so the last picture. We now know the shoes.
Let x = the boat now
18 = 6x Divide both sides by 6
x = 3 We found the value of the boat.
Finally, let's look at the second picture.
Let x = the chair now
3 + x = 7 Subtract 3 from both sides
x = 4 We found the value of the chair.
W = 14 •9
which means w= 14×9
Answer:
$95.48 was his commission
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find what the retail cost of the chest is. If it's marked up 150%, we use 763.84 + 1.5(763.84) which gives us a retail price of $1909.60. If Ben makes 5% on the sale as his commission, then we take 5% of 1909.60 which, in algebraic terms, looks like this: .05(1909.60) which is $95.48
