Answer:

  1. $1000
  2. $600
  3. $250

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the third-place prize value. Then the first place prize has a value of 2t+500, and the second-place prize is 2t+100. The total value of the three prizes is ...

  t +(2t+500) +(2t+100) = 1850

  5t +600 = 1850

  5t = 1250

  t = 250 . . . . . . . . . . . third place prize

  2t +500 = 1000 . . . . first place prize

  1000 -400 = 600 . . .second place prize

The prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places are $1000, $600, and $250, respectively.

Answer:

It'd be C?

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, if you turn 5/2 into a mixed number, it will be 2 1/2, and if you add 2 1/2 to 3, it would be 5 1/2, and C is the only one that shows it. Not only that, you could probably find out with common sense, because there is no subtracting in this problem, but every other answer besides C is subtracting.

Hope this helps

Bit late though lol

Can anyone help me with this math question
Lynna [10]

Answer:

89 seats are not being used

Step-by-step explanation:

You subtract the seats being used by teachers

342 - 75 =267

Change 2/3 into a percentage = 66.6%

Find 66.6% of 267= 177.8 (I rounded up to 178)

Then subtract 177.8/178 from 267 to find the amount of seats not being used.

The amount of seats not being used would come down to 89 seats.

I hope this helps!
