Answer:
Pam: $181
Amanda: $362
Julie: $452
Step-by-step explanation:
(What does Mike have to do with this problem?)
Let a = Amanda's pay
Let p = Pam's pay
Let j = Julie's pay
"Amanda made twice what Pam earned"
a = 2p
"Julie made $90 more than Amanda"
j = a + 90
j = 2p + 90
Pam earned p
Total salary
a + p + j = 2p + p + 2p + 90
Total salary
$995
2p + p + 2p + 90 = 995
5p = 905
p = 181
a = 2p = 2(181) = 362
j = 2p + 90 = 362 + 90 = 452
Answer:
Pam: $181
Amanda: $362
Julie: $452

Multiplication of a matrix by a scalar is the same as multiplying every element of that matrix by that scalar.

I’m not 100% sure but I think I’m right
If the gum costs 75 cents today, which is 3 cents less than three times what the pack cost 20 years ago, we just need to arrange what we know into an equation.
We know that the price of gum today is 75 cents, so we can leave that on one side of the equation as a constant. Also, since we are dealing only with cents and not dollars, there is no need to shift the decimal point to the left.
? = 75
Now, we can work the equation.
The problem tells us that 75 is 3 cents less than three times the old cost. So, if x is the old cost, we can work out the equation based on that.
It says that it's 3 cents less than 3 times x. The question is basically the equation in word form.
3x - 3 = 75
'3x' being the "three times the old cost" part, '- 3' being the "3 cents less" part, and '75' of course being the current price of a pack of gum.
Option C is your correct answer.
BTW if we were to solve this, we would see that the old price of a pack of gum is:
3x - 3 = 75
+ 3 + 3
3x = 78
/3 /3
x = 26
20 years ago, a 75-cent pack of gum cost 26 cents.
Hope that helped! =)
