The answer is A: 4. This is easy once you know the order of operations, aka PEMDAS. Parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, and addition/subtraction.
Answer:
13.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
you will 180 pints of the 100% juice and 540 pints of the 40% juice
Step-by-step explanation:
in order to get a 55% mixture you must combine 1 100% and 3 40%
100 + 120 = 220 then divide by 4 and you get 55% juice
now you must use 180 100% juice and 540 40 % juice to make 180 pints
you need this because the ratio is 3 40% to every 1 100%
Let the total toys be x.
The first has (1/10)x = x/10
The third child has one more toys than the first = x/10 + 1
The fourth has double of the third: = 2* (x/10 + 1) = 2x/10 + 2
Since we know that the second child has 12 more toys than the first
Therefore the Second minus First = 12.
First let us find the second.
1st + 2nd + 3rd + 4th = x
x/10 + 2nd + (x/10 + 1) + (2x/10 + 2) = x
2nd + x/10 + x/10 + 1 + 2x/10 + 2 = x
2nd + x/10 + x/10 + 2x/10 + 1 + 2 = x
2nd + 4x/10 + 3 = x
2nd = x - 4x/10 - 3
2nd = 6x/10 - 3
But recall
2nd - 1st = 12
6x/10 - 3 - x/10 = 12
6x/10 - x/10 = 12 + 3
5x/10 = 15
5x = 15 * 10
x = 15*10 /5
x = 30
So there were 30 toys in all.
