For starters, create an equation to show David's earnings. We can do this using Danielle's as a basis, which is set up as y=(# of hours)x+(bonus). This gives us y=12x+80. Now, as we need both their ys to be equal, we just set both equations equal to each other, making 15x+50=12x+80. Now, we solve for x, starting with 15x+50=12x+80, subtracting 12x from both sides to get 3x+50=80, subtracting 50 from both sides to get 3x=30, and dividing three from both sides to get x=10. To check, we just plug in our answer to both equations and see if the ys match up. With Danielle's equation, we get y=15(10)+50=150+50=200 and with David's equation, we get y=12(10)+80=120+80=200, proving that our answer is correct.
Answer:
35 1/12 gallons of gasoline
Step-by-step explanation:
so what you're going to do is take both of the fractions (3/4 and 1/3) and convert them into two fractions with the same denominator so you can add them easily. the closest number that you can convert them to would be a denominator of 12, so we would turn 3/4 into its equivalent of 9/12 and 1/3 would now be 4/12. now we add them and get 13/12, which is an improper fraction, so we would change that to 1 and 1/12. and finally, we add 1 1/12 + 1 + 33 and we would get 35 and 1/12 as our final answer :)
Well its
900+0+0
basically
like if it was
9,234
then it would be
9000+200+30+4
