<em>They took 101 peaches to market.</em>
<u>Check:</u>
In the 1st hour, they sold (101/2 + 1/2) = 102/2 = 51. They had 50 left.
In the 2nd hour, they sold (50/3 + 1/3)=51/3=17. They had (50-17)=33 left.
In the 3rd hour, they sold (33/4 + 3/4) = 36/4 = 9. They had (33-9) = 24 left.
In the final hour, they sold (24/5 + 1/5) = 25/5 = 5. They had (24-5) = 19 left. yay!
Fiona and Camilla took their 19 remaining peaches and went home. Sharing with
their parents and their brother Rowlf, each person had 3.8 peaches for dinner.
There was a lot of activity in the bathroom overnight.
================================================
The key to solving this one is to work it backwards.
-- They had 19 peaches left at the end of the day.
-- During the final hour, the 1/5 of a peach that they sold left them with 19,
so they had 19-1/5 before they sold the 1/5 of a peach.
The 19-1/5 was 4/5 of what they had at the beginning of the final hour.
So, at the beginning of the final hour, they had (5/4)x(19.2) = 24 .
-- During the 3rd hour, the 3/4 of a peach that they sold left them with 24,
so they had 24-3/4 before they sold the 3/4 of a peach.
The 24-3/4 was 3/4 of what they had at the beginning of that hour.
So, at the beginning of the 3rd hour, they had (4/3)x(24.75) = 33 .
Do the same for the 2nd hour.
Then do the same for the 1st hour.
And you'll work your way back up to 101 peaches.
Answer:
1.07 (15 + x) = 42.80
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
CD= $15
Let the cost of the video game be x
The total cost= 15+x
Hence the equivalent expression is
1.07 (15 + x) = 42.80
open bracket
16.05+1.07x= 42.80
42.80-16.05= 1.07x
26.75=1.07x
x= 26.75/1.07
x= 25
Check
7% tax for CD
=0.07*15
=1.05
total =1.05+15
=$16.05
7% tax for Video game
=0.07* 25
=1.75
total =1.75+25
=$26.75
In all
=26.75+16.05
=$42.8
X = -3.5 or -7/2 or -3 1/2
It is true because
when you separate 2y^2 +9y -18, you are supposed to get the factors
(2y-3)(y+6), when you multiply this it gives you the first equation, we know
this because when we multiply the first term it gives us exactly 2y^2 and if we
multiply the last ones it gives you -18, now here is the tricky part, when we
multiply the middle part we get 12y and -3y, when we add these up we get 9y,
now is that the same middle as in the equation? Yes… then our factors are correct
making this true
Hope this helps
