Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When we take an average of something, we have to add up all the data on the somethings and then divide by the number of somethings we have. Ed takes 5 tests, and we have scores for them; we also have his current average. What we don't know for sure are 2 of the 5 test scores, but we have enough to determine what they are.

If one test has a score of x, and the other test is 3 points less than that, the score on that last test is x - 3. Putting all of that together into an average problem:

\frac{87+85+87+x+(x-3)}{5}=90 and simplfiying a bit:

\frac{256+2x}{5}=90. Multiply both sides by 5 to get

256 + 2x = 450; subtract 256 from both sides to get

2x = 194 and divide by 2:

x = 97

The one test score was a 97 and the other one, which was 3 less than that, was a 94.

Leah cut a 7 inch ribbon into pieces that are 1/2 an inch long. How many pieces of ribbon did she cut? ​

14 ribbons.

7 divided by 1/2 is 14. dividing by a fraction or decimal is just like multiplying without the decimal point or numerator.

Answer:

(4%) ... $8200

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 15000

.04x + .032y = 545.60

y = 15000 - x

.04x + .032(15000 - x) = 545.60

.008x = 65.6

x=8200
