Answer:The cost of one month of game-play =$20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of one month of gameplay be x
Then cost of game-play bought by Angie =3x.....(1)
and Then cost of game-play bought by Kenny=4x......(2)
Cost of each software package =$50......(3)
The the total cost =240= sum of costs of software bought by both of them and game-play)=50+50+3x+4x
⇒240=100+7x.......→(by adding like terms)
⇒140=7x⇒x=20.....→( dividing both sides by 7 )
∴the cost of one month of game-play =$20
First you convert kilograms to pounds,
1 kilogram = 2.205 pounds
next you times the number of pounds per kilogram by the number of kilograms given that need to be turned into pounds.
80 times 2.205 = 176.4
next you subtract to get the answer
176.4 - 135= 41.4
so Ms. Johnson weighs 41.4 pounds less than herr husband
When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89
97.45 • 0.18 = 17.54. 97.45 + 17.54 = 114.99. I think this is right.
