Answer:
Jaime = 11
Sammy = 44
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that Sammy is eleven less than five times Jaime's age. Use parameter (S) to represent Sammy's age, and parameter (J) to represent Jaime's age. Form an equation based on this given information:
S = 5J - 11
It is given that the sum of the two girl's ages is (55), use an equation to represent this.
S + J = 55
Substitute in the expression for the value of (S) in terms of (J),
(5J - 11) + J = 55
Simplify,
6J - 11 = 55
Inverse operations,
6J - 11 = 55
6J = 66
J = 11
Backsolve for the value of (S), substitute in the value of (J) into the equation for (S) and solve,
S = 5(J) - 11
S = 5(11) -11
S = 55 - 11
S = 44
Answer:
15%
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a proportion.
Cross-multiply.
Divide both sides by 90.
The discounted price is 85% of the regular price so the
discount is 15%.
She should choose bank r because we don't know how far she is from work.
10/2(25-20)
Use distributive property to simplify bottom.
2 x 25 = 50 and 2 x 20 = 40
Now you have 10/50-40
50 - 40 = 10
10/10 = 1
Your answer is 1.
