The answer is 24 I believe
Answer:
Equations:
a + b = 19
a = b + 2
a = Money that spent Laura
b = Money that spent Laureen
then:
(b+2) + b = 19
2b + 2 = 19
2b = 19-2
2b = 17
b = 17/2
b = 8.5
a = b + 2
a = 8.5 + 2
a = 10.5
Check:
10.5 + 8.5 = 19
Answer: The letter "x" is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known. It is called a "variable" or sometimes an "unknown". In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable, but we can work out its value if we try!
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 73.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The percent <em>33 1/3% </em>represents 1/3 of 100%. We can multiply 33 1/3% by 3 and get 100%. We need to find what 24.5 is 33 1/3% of.
Since 1/3 x 3 = 100%, then 24.5 x 3 must equal the number we're trying to find.
24.5 x 3 = 73.5.
Therefore, 24.5 is 33 1/3% of 73.5. I hope this helps, and good luck!
I believe its 27.75. I wouldn't take my word for it though.
