Answers:

  • Total amount of money =  220 dollars
  • Amount Farah gets = 100 dollars

==========================================================

Explanation:

  • F = amount Farah gets
  • S = amount Shaiyara gets
  • Z = amount Zahin gets

The money is divided in the ratio 10:7:5

This means that

  • F = 10x
  • S = 7x
  • Z = 5x

for some positive real number x.

Since Shaiyara gets $20 more than Zahin, we can say,

S = Z+20

Let's plug in S = 7x and Z = 5x and solve for x

S = Z+20

7x = 5x+20

7x-5x = 20

2x = 20

x = 20/2

x = 10

Therefore,

  • F = 10x = 10*10 = 100
  • S = 7x = 7*10 = 70
  • Z = 5x = 5*10 = 50

The ratio F:S:Z becomes 100:70:50 which reduces fully to 10:7:5 after dividing all three parts by the GCF 10.

The total sum of money shared is 100+70+50 = 220 dollars and Farah gets $100 of that total.

Someone help asap pls! answer AND explanation
AysviL [449]

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is simply asking for the number that makes the equation untrue. So, all you need to do is plug in the various numbers below for w, and find out the incorrect number. Example with option D:

w-10≤16

27-10≤16

17≤16.

This makes the equation untrue, as 17 is not less than or equal to 16.

Hope this helps!
