Answer:
$720
$360
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of couch be A and that of coffee table be B
Given couch and coffee table cost $1080
That’s
A + B = $1080
Also, the cost of couch A is 2 times the cost of coffeee table B.
That’s
A = 2B
We now have two equations
A + B = 1080
A = 2B
Now ,substitute 2B for A in the first equation .
We have
A + B = 1080
2B + B = 1080
3B = 1080
Divide both sides by 3
3B/3 = 1080/3
B = 360
The coffee table cost $360
Remember A = 2B
Therefore
A = 2 x $360
A = $720
The couch cost $720 while the coffee table cost $360
Step 1:
Add rent & car payments
=11,250+1422
=$12,672
Step 2:
to determine %, set up a proportion
12,672 is to his total of 39,600 as x is to 100
12,672/39,600 = x/100
cross multiply
(12,672)(100) = (39,600)(x)
1,267,200= 39,600x
divide both sides by 39,600
32%= x
OR
Alternative Step 2:
12,672 ÷ 39,600= 0.32
Alternative Step 3:
0.32 x 100 = 32%
or move decimal to the right 2 places
His rent and car payments are 32% of his earnings.
Hope this helps! :)
3 quarts.
4 cups equal 1 quart according to the US standards.
Using that, we get an equation like:
4c = 1q
if you want 12 cups, you have to multiply the left side by 3 meaning you would also have to multiply the right side by 3.
3(4c) = 3(1q)
12c = 4q
you get 12 cups equals 4 quarts.
Answer:
P = (2, 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to find coordinates of P on segment AB such that P is 3/4 is of the way from A to B.
<h3>Equation for P</h3>
For some fraction q of the distance from A to B, the point P that lies at that fraction of the distance is given by ...
P = A +q(B -A) = (1 -q)A +qB
<h3>Application</h3>
For q = 3/4, the location of P is ...
P = (1 -3/4)A + 3/4B = (A +3B)/4
Using the given point coordinates, we have ...
P = ((-4, -2) +3(4, 10))/4 = (-4 +12, -2 +30)/4 = (8, 28)/4
P = (2, 7)
