Answer:

The first number is 16

The second number is 6

The third number is 64

Step-by-step explanation:

The information from the word problem are;

The count of the numbers in the sum = 3 numbers

The value of the sum of the three numbers = 86

The value of the third number = 4 × The value of the first number

The value of the first number = 10 + The value of the second

Let 'x' represent the first number, let 'y' represent the second number and let 'z' represent the third number, we have;

x + y + z = 86...(1)

z = 4 × x...(2)

x = y + 10...(3)

From equation (3), we get;

x = y + 10

∴ y = x - 10...(4)

Substituting the value of <em>z</em> from equation (2) and the value of <em>y</em> from equation (4) in equation (1) gives;

x + y + z = 86

z = 4 × x = 4·x

y = x - 10

∴ x + y + z = x + (x - 10) + 4·x = 86

x + (x - 10) + 4·x = x + x - 10 + 4·x = 6·x - 10 = 86

6·x = 86 + 10 = 96

∴ x = 96/6 = 16

x = 16

From equation (2), we get;

z = 4 × x

∴ z = 4 × 16 = 64

z = 64

From equation (4), we get

y = x - 10

∴ y = 16 - 10 = 6

y = 6

Therefore; x = 16, y = 6, and z = 64

The numbers are 16, 6, and 64

Answer:

67.02\ in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

-We find the surface area of the formula as follows:

A=\pi r^2, \ \ r=radius=8\ in\\\\=\pi \times 8^2\\\\=201.06\ in^2

#We then find the area of the remaining fraction if she only ate one third:

Eaten=\frac{1}{3}\times Area\\\\=\frac{1}{3}\times 201.06\ in^2\\\\=67.02\ in^2

Hence, Tina ate 67.02\ in^2 of the pizza.

HELP!!!
olga55 [171]

Answer:

  a) 236/100 = 2.36

  b) 101/100 = 1.01

  c) 814/100 = 8.14

Step-by-step explanation:

The divisor in each case is already a factor of 100, so multiply the numerator and denominator by the number that will make the denominator 100. Then add 100 times the integer to the numerator of the fraction.

a) 2 9/25 = (200 +9·4)/(25·4) = 236/100 = 2.36

b) 1 1/100 = (100 +1)/100 = 101/100 = 1.01

c) 8 7/50 = (800 +7·2)/(50·2) = 814/100 = 8.14

____

Since each of these fractions has a denominator of 100, the decimal can be written by putting the least significant digit of the numerator in the hundredths place of the decimal number.

For example, for 236/100, putting 6 in the hundredths place puts 3 in the tenths place and 2 in the units place for a decimal number of 2.36.

Fairview auto repair originally paid its mechanics $20 per hour. Now that there is a new owner, the mechanics make 5% less. How
sattari [20]

Answer:

The new amount paid to mechanics per after by new owner is $ 19 Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The amount paid to mechanics initially = $ 20 per hour

Now, The new owner paid less at the rate = 5%

Let the amount paid to the mechanics after 5 % less = x per hour

So, According to question

The new amount paid to mechanics per hour = initial amount paid per hour × ( 1 - \frac{rate}{100} )

or, The new amount paid to mechanics per hour =  $ 20 × ( 1 - \frac{5}{100} )

I.e The new amount paid to mechanics per hour =  $ 20 × 0.95

∴ The new amount paid to mechanics per hour =  $ 19

Hence The new amount paid to mechanics per after by new owner is $ 19 Answer
