Answer:
£9.50
Step-by-step explanation:
if the price was reduced 70%, then Dave is paying 30% of the original.
0.3 of £ = 2.85
£ = 2.85 / 0.3
£ = 9.5
£9.50
Answer:
56 cups of water
Step-by-step explanation:
Katrina drinks 0.5 gallons of water per day
We have 7 days in a week, hence, the number of gallons of water she drinks per week is calculated as:
1 day = 0.5 gallons
7 days = x
Cross Multiply
1 day × x = 7 days × 0.5 gallons
x = 7 days × 0.5 gallons/1 day
x = 3.5 gallons
Note that 16 cups = 1 gallon
The number of cups of water she drinks per week is
1 gallon = 16 cups
3.5 gallons = x
Cross Multiply
1 gallons × x = 3.5 gallons × 16 cups
x = 3.5 gallons × 16 cups/1 gallons
x = 56 cups
Therefore, Katrina drinks 56 cups of water in a week
Answer:
The equation that represents this situation is x + 3x + (x - 4) + 2(x - 4) = 72, where x is Erik's age
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us solve the question
Assume that Erik is x years old
∵ Erik is x years old
∵ Erik is
as old as Dawn
→ That means x =
Dawn
∴ x =
Dawn
→ Multiply both sides by 3
∴ 3x = Dawn
∴ Dawn is 3x years old
∵ Jiro is 4 years younger than Erik
→ That means Jiro = x - 4
∴ Jiro is (x - 4) years old
∵ Alita is 2 times as old as Jiro
→ That means Alita = 2 × (x - 4)
∴ Alita = 2 × (x - 4)
∴ Alita is 2(x - 4) years old
∵ The sum of all their ages is 72
→ That means add their ages and equate the sum by 72
∴ Erike's age + Dawn's age + Jiro's age + Alita's age = 72
∴ x + 3x + (x - 4) + 2(x - 4) = 72
The equation that represents this situation is x + 3x + (x - 4) + 2(x - 4) = 72, where x is Erik's age
