Answer:
$34
Step-by-step explanation:
I'd work backwards.
For the third book, she paid all her remaining money. The problem says she paid "1/2 her leftover money + $3". This means that: (let m = money used to buy book 3)
m = 1/2m + 3
1/2m = 3
m = 6
For the second book: (let n = money before book 2)
n - m (money left after book 2) = 1/2n + 2
1/2n +2 is money used up for book, which is the same as n-m.
n = 1/2n + 2 + m
1/2n = 2 + m = 2 + 6
1/2n =8
n = 16
For the first book, she spent 1/2 her money + 1. If o = money before book 1 (or the whole allowance):
o - n = 1/2o + 1
o = 1/2o + n + 1 = 1/2o + 16 + 1
1/2o = 17
o = 34
Check!
Spent 17 (half 34) + 1 on book 1
16 left
Spent 8 (half 16) +2 on book 2
6 left
Spent 3 (half 6) + 3 on book 3
0 left
Let's use a for number of days when he shot 50 shots and b for number of days when he shot 100 shots.
We have:
a + b = 20
We also know that he shot total of 1250 shots:
50a + 100 b = 1250
We have two equations. We can solve them for a and b. Let's rearange first equation for a:
a= 20 - b
We insert this into second equation:
50 * (20 - b ) + 100b = 1250
1000 - 50b + 100b = 1250
50b = 250
b = 5
a = 20 - 5
a = 15
Mark shot 100 shots on 5 days.

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter P of a rectangle is calculated as
P = 2l + 2w ( l is the length and w the width ) , then
2l + 2(9) = 5364
2l + 18 = 5364 ( subtract 18 from both sides )
2l = 5346 ( divide both sides by 2 )
l = 2673
Then
A = lw = 2673 × 9 = 24057 m² → D
