Answer: Their total budget last year was $40,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The Smiths spend 6% of their budget on entertainment.
i.e. , The money they spend on entertainment = 0.06 x ( Total budget)
{ 6% is converted to 0.06 , when we divide it by 100 to remove percentage)
Since , this year they plan to spend $2,580 on entertainment.
i.e. 0.06 x ( Total budget ) = $2,580
On dividing both sides by 0.06 , we get
( Total budget ) = $2,580 ÷ 0.06
= $43,000
Thus , their total budget for this year = $43,000
Also, Their total budget this year is $3,000 more than last year.
Therefore , their last year total budget = ( Total budget this year ) - $3000
= $43,000 - $3000
= $40,000
Hence, their total budget last year was $40,000.

Hope this helps! Also can I have brainliest? It’s ok if no :) have a nice day.

Zoe counts 5 times as many black kittens as white kittens for sale at the pet store. she counts a total of 25 kittens how many m
malfutka [58]

Let us say that:

a = black kittens

b = white kittens

 

We know that:

a = 5 b

a + b = 25

 

Therefore:

5 b + b = 25

6 b = 25

b = 4.17

But we cannot have a fraction value for the number of kittens, so round off:

b = 4

 

So a is:

a = 25 – 4 = 21

 

<span>Hence Zoe counts additional 1 black kitten.</span>

rodikova [14]

$10.71

Explanation

Step 1

you can easily solve this by using a rule of three.

Let

x represents the money Eileen will pay if her bag weighs 63 pounds

the proportion is the same

then

\frac{7.14}{42}=\frac{x}{63}

Step 2

solve for x

\begin{gathered} \frac{7.14}{42}=\frac{x}{63} \\ 63\cdot7.14=42x \\ x=\frac{63\cdot7.14}{42} \\ x=\frac{449.82}{42} \\ x=10.71 \\  \end{gathered}

I hope this helps you

How far up the house would a ladder be resting if it is 25 ft long and 3 ft
Lena [83]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The last one is absurd. You can't have a ladder reaching higher than itself. The question is a Pythagorean problem.

Givens

a = 3

b = ?

c = 25 feet

Formula

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Solution

3^2 + b^2 = 25^2

9 + b^2 = 625                  Subtract 9 from both sides.

b^2 = 625 - 9

b^2 = 616                        Take the square root of both sides.

b = sqrt(616)

b = 24.8
