Answer:
a chance of 3.16
Step-by-step explanation:
Whole numbers are number like 1 ,2 ,3 or ,1.0 ,2.0 , or 3.0
decimals are 2.46, 0.73 or 6.89
whole numbers do not have a digit past the decimal place
decimals do
Answer:
a = 8 ÷ 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
All I really did was put another variable similar to the x in the original problem, then I changed the numbers to be a bit lower while still keep the original work-- In a short term, I lowered the 9s to 8s.
Given parameters;
Let us solve this problem step by step;
Let us represent Simon's money by S
Kande's money by K
- Simon has more money than Kande
S > K
- if Simon gave Kande K20, they would have the same amount;
if Simon gives $20, his money will be S - 20 lesser;
When Kande receives $20, his money will increase to K + 20
S - 20 = K + 20 ------ (i)
- While if Kande gave Simon $22, Simon would then have twice as much as Kande;
if Kande gave Simon $22, his money will be K - 22
Simon's money, S + 22;
S + 22 = 2(K - 22) ------ (ii)
Now we have set up two equations, let us solve;
S - 20 = K + 20 ---- i
S + 22 = 2(K - 22) ; S + 22 = 2K - 44 ---- ii
So, S - 20 = K + 20
S + 22 = 2K - 44
subtract both equations;
-20 - 22 = (k -2k) + 64
-42 = -k + 64
k = 106
Using equation i, let us find S;
S - 20 = K + 20
S - 20 = 106 + 20
S = 106 + 20 + 20 = 146
Therefore, Kande has $106 and Simon has $146
