Money of Phoebe - 3 times as much as Andy
Money of Andy - 2 times as much as Polly
Total money of Phoebe, - £270
Andy and Polly

*Solution

Let
B - Phoebe's money
A - Andy's money
L - Polly's money

1. The money of the Phoebe, Andy, and Polly, when added together would total £270. Thus,

B + A + L = £270 (EQUATION 1)

2. Phoebe has three times as much money as Andy and this is expressed as

B = 3A

3. Andy has twice as much money as Polly and this is expressed as

A = 2L (EQUATION 2)

4. This means that Phoebe has ____ as much money as Polly,

B = 3A
B = 3 x (2L)
B = 6L (EQUATION 3)

This step allows us to eliminate the variables B and A in EQUATION 1 by expressing the equation in terms of Polly's money only.

5. Substituting B with 6L, and A with 2L, EQUATION 1 becomes,

6L + 2L + L = £270
9L = £270
L = £30

So, Polly has £30.

6. Substituting L into EQUATIONS 2 and 3 would give us the values for Andy's money and Phoebe's money, respectively.

A = 2L
A = 2(£30)
A = £60

Andy has £60

B = 6L
B = 6(£30)
B = £180

Phoebe has £180

The cities Cleveland, Ohio; Erie, Pennsylvania; and Rochester, New York, in respective order, lie approximately in a straight li
Ann [662]

Answer:

  Erie to Rochester is 145 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If we designate the points of interest as C, E, and R, we are told that ...

  CE + ER = CR . . . . . the various distances are segments of a straight line

For CE = 94 and CR = 239, we can fill in the given information and solve for ER.

  94 + ER = 239

  ER = 239 -94 . . . . . . subtract 94 from both sides of the equation

  ER = 145

The distance from Erie to Rochester is 145 miles.

The price for a TV was decreased by 20% and then by 10%. By what percent was the new price lower than the original?
Finger [1]
Let's say the tv was 100$ . Reduced by 20% means the tv is now 100 - 20 = 80% of the original price.

0.8(100) = 80$
Reduced again; by 10% means that it is now 100-10 = 90% of the 80$
0.9(80) = 72$

sale price ÷ original price

72$ / 100$ = 0.72 which is 72% of the original price. Which is a mark down of:
100 - 72 = 28%

The new price is 28% lower than the original price.
