Answer:

Patricia spent $24 on presents, while Donald spent $12 and Carl spent $36.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is to solve how much money each person spent on presents in the year, through a series of equivalences. In order to determine how much money each one spent, the following equation must be proposed:

Patricia = X

Donald = 1 / 2X

Carl = 3/2 X

X + 1 / 2X + 3 / 2X = 72

1X + 0.5 X + 1.5 X = 72

3X = 72

X = 72/3

X = 24

Thus, Patricia spent $ 24 on presents, while Donald spent $ 12 (2/24) and Carl spent $ 36 (1.5 x 24).

Write an equation in standard form of the line passing through the points (12, 3) and (-3, 8).
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

x + 3y = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

(x_{1},y_{1})=(12,3) \\\\(x_{2},y_{2})=(-3,8)\\\\Slope= \dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\\= \dfrac{8-3}{-3-12}= \dfrac{5}{-15}\\\\= \dfrac{-1}{3}

Equation of the line: y =mx+ b

y =  \dfrac{-1}{3}x+b\\\\\\Plugin \ x = 12 \ and \ y=3 \ in \ the \ above \ equation\\\\3= \dfrac{-1}{3}*12+b\\\\3= -4+b\\\\3+4 = b\\\\b = 7\\\\\\\y=  \dfrac{-1}{3}x+7\\\\

Multiply the equation by 3

3y = -x + 21

x + 3y = 21

How u do ratios and divide because i have bad memories and its to many steps?
Drupady [299]
It depends on the question, but if the questions is sort of like "Person A and Person B shared 40 sweets in the ratio 3:5, how many sweets did Person A get" then you add 3 and 5 to get 8, and then you do 40 ÷ 8 to get 5 which is 1 in terms of the ratio. Then, you would multiply 5 by 3 to get 15 sweets. If it's a different type of question then let me know so I can help out :)

A pair of pants with a marked price of $35.00 has a discount of 20%. How much is the discount? Can someone help me learn to do p
andreyandreev [35.5K]
When you see a "%" you need to ask " a percent of what"?

Here, it's a percent of the original prize, so the discount is 20% of the original prize, that is 20% of 35.

20% is also 20/100 or 1/5, so we can calculate this like this:

\frac{1}{5} *35=7

so the discount is 7 dollars.
