Answer: the total number of coupon books sold is 20.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of coupon books that Mario sold.
Let y represent the number of coupon books that Luigi sold.
Apparently, Mario is a much better salesperson, because he sold 4 times as many coupon books as Luigi. This is expressed as
x = 4y
If Luigi sold 12 fewer coupon books than Mario, the expression would be
x = y + 12 - - - - - - - - - - -- -1
Substituting x = 4y into equation 1, it becomes
4y = y + 12
4y - y = 12
3y = 12
y = 12/3
y = 4
x = 4y = 4 × 4
x = 16
The total number of coupon books that the two boys sold is
4 + 16 = 20
Answer:
6 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
First, turn the information given in words as equations. Use variables to represent the people:
let A be Addison's age
let B be Bailey's age
let C be Christopher's age
A = 3B (Addison is 3 times as old as Bailey)
B = 2.5C (Bailey is 2.5 times as old as Christopher)
A + B + C = 66 (the sum of their ages is 66) (sum means addition)
Start with the equation for the sum of their ages (A + B + C = 66). You have other equations that can replace the variables in this equation.
A + B + C = 66
(3B) + B + C = 66 Replace A with 3B (because A = 3B)
4B + C = 66 Collect like terms (3B + B = 4B)
4(2.5C) + C = 66 Replace B with 2.5C (because B = 2.5C)
10C + C = 66 Collect like terms (10C + C = 11C)
11C = 66 Isolate "C"
11C/11 = 66/11 Divide both sides by 11 to cancel out 11 on the left side.
C = 6 Christopher's Age
Therefore Christopher is 6 years old.
Answer:
a) 1.6 x 10 ^6 dollars.
Step-by-step explanation:
since President Ronald Reagan served for 8 years. So the total amount of money that he earned is 2 x 10^5 x 8 = 16 x 10 ^ 5 = 1.6 x 10^6 dollars.
