Answer:

x= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Ratio= 5:2:x

Combined ratio= 5+2+x

                        = 7+x

Total amount of money= $15000

Let us apply the part to all method

Hence for Matthew whose share = $7500

5/7+x=  7500/15000

Cross multiply we have

7500*(7+x)= 15000*5

52500+7500x= 75000

Collect like terms we have

7500x= 75000-52500

7500x=22500

x= 22500/7500

x=3

Hence the value of x= 3

motikmotik

There are 9 number cards from 2 to 10 in a deck of cards.

(2-10) has one 9

(2-10) has one 9

(2-10) has one 9

(2-10) has one 9

There are 4 nines in a deck of 52 cards. We know that 4 x 9 = 36.

The chance or probability of taking out a 9 is (36/52).

Reducing this fraction to the lowest terms we get 9/13.

I believe that the answer for this is that she is going over budget considering that 100$ in debt she won't be able to pay because without the debt she would have to pay 1,605 out of her 1,700 so add 100 to 1,605 and she would be over budget

Deanna has rode her bike 6/7 days this week. What percentage of days has<br> Deanna rode her bike? *
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

87%

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to convert this fraction to a decimal. To do that, we divide 6 by 7. That gets us 0.85714285714. We need to round that to the nearest hundredth. That gets us 0.86. Now, we need to convert this to a percentage. To do that, we move the decimal two places to the right. That gets us 86. She rode her bike 87% of the days this week.
