So lets go step by step, first lets see how much Reagan spent, that is 2 banana splits, $3.25 each, that is:
total spent = 2*3.25 = 6.50
So Reagan spent $6.50 of her weekly allowance, and the problem says that $6.50 represents 26% of her weekly allowance, the question is to find out how much represents the 100% of her weekly allowance.
We can solve this using a rule of three, simple, with direct proportion:
26% -----> $6.50
100% ----> x
x = (100)(6.50)/26 = 650/26
x = 25
therefore Reagan's weekly allowance is $25
Complete Question
A dog weighs 2 pounds less than 3 times the weight of a cat. The dog weighs twenty two more pounds than the cat.
Write and solve an equation to find the weights of the cat and the dog.
Answer:
Weight of cat = x = 12 pounds
Weight of Dog = y = 34 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's represent:
Weight of cat = x
Weight of Dog = y
A dog weighs 2 pounds less than 3 times the weight of a cat.
y = 3x - 2........ Equation 1
The dog weighs twenty two more pounds than the cat
y = x + 22....... Equation 2
The equation is given as:
y = y
3x - 2 = x + 22
Collect like terms
3x - x = 22 + 2
2x = 24
x = 24/2
x = 12 pounds
Solving for y using any of the equations:
y = 3x - 2
y = 3 × 12 - 2
y = 36 - 2
y = 34 pounds
Therefore:
Weight of cat = x = 12 pounds
Weight of Dog = y = 34 pounds
