Kim, Laura and Molly share £385

Mathematics

Set x equal to the amount of money Kim gets, and y for Molly's money.

 x = 2/5y, since the ratio is 2:5.
y = 105 + x, since Molly has 105 more pounds than Kim.

Substitute x into this equation, so that y = 105 + 2/5y. Subtract 2/5y from both sides to get 3/5y = 105. Divide each side by 0.6 (equivalent to 3/5) and you get y = 175, which is how much Molly has. Kim gets 2/5 of Molly's share (or 105 fewer pounds), so she has 70.

70 + 175 (Kim and Molly's shares) is equal to 245. Therefore, Laura receives the remaining 140 pounds.

140/385 = a/100
Cross multiply so that 385a is 14000. Divide by 385 to get 36.4 (rounded).

Thus, Laura receives about 36.4% of the total money. Hope this helps (:

I know it is a long question but please I will mark brainlist to the person who answers please help
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Carla lives 16 miles from the Library.

The mistake is drawng the diagram incorrectly and using the miles given in the wrong places. The <u>student's</u> diagram has Yuri in a place that's Southwest of the Library in the diagram given

Step-by-step explanation:

If Yuri lives 24 miles SOUTH of the library, the "b" side of the triangle should be 24, with the Library at the top and Yuri at the bottom left, which is the west end of the base. The base "a" of the triangle should extend 10 to the right (East in compas directions) forming the right angle. Carla lives at the sharp southeast corner of the triangle, and the Hypotenuse "c"  from her house to the Library is the distance we have to figure.

c² =a² + b²

c² = 10² + 24²

c² = 100 + 576

c² = 676

√c² = √676

c = 26       Carla lives 26 miles from the Library.
