Answer:
1/20
Step-by-step explanation:
Karina ate 1/2 of the muffins. Ulysses ate 1/4 of the muffins. Zawanna ate 1/5 of the muffins. Juan ate the rest of the muffins. What fraction of the muffins did Juan eat?
Let the total number of muffins = 1
Hence:
The fraction of muffins Juan ate =
1 - (1/2 + 1/4 + 1/5)
Lowest common denominator is 20
1 - ( 10 + 5 + 4/20)
1 - 19/20
= 1/20
The Fraction of muffins Juan ate is 1/20
You did everything right. You leave "t" by itself because you don't have a given time frame. But I'll say you used the correct formula and showed your work well.
Answer:
x = 13 ; x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest related equation to get is simply solving for x:
a) x + 5 = 18
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 5 from both sides:
x + 5 (-5) = 18 (-5)
x = 18 - 5
x = 13*
b) 66x = 330
Isolate the variable, x. Divide 66 from both sides of the equation:
(66x)/66 = (330)/66
x = 330/66
x = 5*
*Note: An equation simply is a expression that has an equal sign. This means that as long as there is an equal sign, it counts as an equation.

The answer is B.$7.47.
Let's first calculate how much in total 75 shirts cost:
- first 19 (less than 20) cost $10: 19 * $10 = $190
- the next 30 cost $8: 30 * $8 = $240
- the rest (26 = 75 - 19 - 30) cost $5: 26 * $5 = $130
So, in total 75 shirts cost $560:
19 * $10 + 30 * $8 + 21 * $5 = $190 + $240 + $130 = $560
Since 75 shirts are ordered, there must be 75 employees, so each employee must pay $7.47:
$565 ÷ 75 = $7.47
