This is easy, if adding the first number to the second number you get 70.2 then if you want to find the middle number you will have to subtract 32.34 from 70.2 to get 37.86, now add that and 32.34 to check if it gives you 70.2.... When you add them you indeed get 70.2 so your work is correct meaning your middle number is 37.86
Hope this helped
Answer:
4,600
Step-by-step explanation:
92,000/8= 11500
11500 x 4= 46000 to his wife
11500 for the son
92000-57500= 34500
34500/5= 6,900 each charity
11500-6900= 4600 is how more he is getting than each charity
P = pizza and c =cakes
Last week: 8p + 13c = 134
Today: 28p + 4c = 220
Let’s take the formula for today and subtract 28p from each side to isolate the 4c.
4c = 220 - 28p
Now divide each side by 4
c = (220 - 28p)/4
Simplify to c = 55 - 7p
Now go to the formula for last week, substitute the c for 55-7p
8p + 13(55 - 7p) = 134
8p + 715 - 91p = 134
Simplify to 715 - 83p = 134
Let’s add 83p to each side.
715 = 134 + 83p
Subtract 134 from each side
581 = 83p
Divide each side by 83
p = $7
I don't know if I did it right but here's my guess. I think you multiply 7 by 20% and that gives you 1.40 as a result. Compared to the other method I used (division), I'm pretty sure I'm right since the other result was 35. Doesn't make sense if the end amount was $7.
