Answer:

$19.68

Step-by-step explanation:

this is not really clearly defined.

I assume it means that they are buying the item, no matter how much it costs, and that the split ratio between them also remains the same no matter the actual cost.

x = what Marcia is paying

and 132 - 18% = 132 × (100 - 18) / 100 = 132×0.82 = 108.24

so,

x + x/2 + x/3 = 108.24

6x + 3x + 2x = 649.44

11x = 649.44

x = $59.04

Mario's part is x/3 = 59.04/3 = $19.68

Len [333]

Answer: 47/8

Step-by-step explanation: To write a mixed number as an improper fraction, first multiply the denominator by the whole number and then add the numerator. Finally, we will put our new number over our old denominator and we have our answer which is 47/8.

Therefore, 5\frac{7}{8} can be rewritten as the improper fraction 47/8.

I need help in "Matlab' with how to "Create a column vector from 15 to -25 with a step size of 5"
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

x=[15:-5:-25]'

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to create a vector you need to use this command:

x = [j:i:k]'

This creates a regularly-spaced vector x using i as the increment between elements. j is the initial value and k is the final value. Besides you need to add the character ' at the end in order to convert the arrow vector in a column vector
