Hello,
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
44%
Step-by-step explanation:
First, take that pretty figure and align it into complete rows.
It will make 2 full rows plus one block.
1 row is 20% since 100 / 5 blocks is 20.
That's 11 blocks.
11 / 25 = .44 or 44%
Let
x----------> number of weeks
y----------> saved money
we now that
<span>Michael begins with $20 and saves $5 per week
so
y=20+5x------> equation 1
and
</span><span>Lindsey begins with no money, but saves $10 per week
</span><span>y=10x-------> equation 2
</span><span>the number of weeks it will take for Lindsey and Michael to save the same amount of money is when equation 1 is equals to equation 2
</span>
therefore
20+5x=10x------> 10x-5x=20------> 5x=20-----> x=20/5-----> x=4 weeks
the answer is
4 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
- In the line 2, only variables were operated with a reduction of similar terms in each side of the equation, giving as result -4x at one side, and 2x at the other side.
- In the line 3, terms with variables were joined together in one side of the equation, and then, they were operate it, given as result -6X.
