Answer:

Sarah gets $\frac{3}{8}$ × 40 = £15

Fiona gets $\frac{3}{8}$ × 40 = £15

David gets $\frac{2}{8}$ × 40 = £10

Step-by-step explanation:

If £40 is shared between three person in the ratio of 3:3:2 then calculate the amount each person gets.

To find the amount each person gets we are goin to change the ratios of each person into fractions.

To turn to fraction add all portions in the ratio:

3 + 3 + 2 = 8 (this will be the denominator for all proportions.)

Therefore Sarah gets $\frac{3}{8}$ , Fiona gets $\frac{3}{8}$ and David gets $\frac{2}{8}$ .

Sarah gets $\frac{3}{8}$ × 40 = £15

Fiona gets $\frac{3}{8}$ × 40 = £15

David gets $\frac{2}{8}$ × 40 = £10

Answer:

$4.50x+2.25y=5,250$ where $x$ denotes number of drinks and $y$ denotes number of pastries.

After 4,000 gallons of water were added to a large water tank that was already filled to 3/4 of its capacity, the tank was then

dangina [55]

Answer: The correct option is

(E) 80,000.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that after adding 4,000 gallons of water to a large tank that was already filled to $\dfrac{3}{4}$ of its capacity, the tank was then at $\drac{4}{5}$ of its capacity.

We are to find the number of gallons of water that the tank hold when filled to capacity.

Let the tank can hold x gallons of water when filled to capacity.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$\dfrac{3}{4}x+4000=\dfrac{4}{5}x\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{4}{5}x-\dfrac{3}{4}x=4000\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{16-15}{20}x=4000\\\\\Rightarrow x=4000\times20\\\\\Rightarrow x=80000.$

Thus, the required capacity of the tank is 80,000 gallons of water.

Option (E) is CORRECT.

Martina spends $15 each time she travels the toll roads. She started the month with $225 in her toll road account. The amount, A

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

$70 is what he would have left. Since each trip is $14 you would multiply that by the amount of times he went which was 11. 14x11 is $154. But you need what he has left so you take his total amount $224-$154 and get $70.

Part b.) 16 times. He has $224 total. You want to find out how many times he can go on the tool roads. We know the toll roads cost $14 each time. So you do $224/14 and get an even amount of 16. He would be able to use it 16 times before he have no money left.
