First, lets set up the equation.
0.25x + (1/8)x + 24 = 60
The variable x will be equal to the total amount of the paycheck. We used 0.25 of the paycheck on the first item bought, 1/8 on the second item bought, and then 24 more dollars. After assembling the equation, we merely need to solve for x to find the value of the paycheck. I'll be converting 1/8 to 0.125 at this point for simplisity's sake.
Subtract 24 from both sides.
0.25x + 0.125x = 36
Combine like terms on the left side.
0.375x = 36
Divide both sides by 0.375.
x = 96
The total is A, 96 dollars.
Fritz is correct, in that the ratio is 1:2
Think of the ratio as a division
10:20 = 10/20
When you divide 10 with 20, you will get a decimal (or simplified fraction)
10/20 = 0.5
0.5 = 50 percent, or 1:2
Fritz is correct, in that 1:2 is the ratio
hope this helps
The anser is d and b that ehaf i think;:::/,/))/(::);
Since DH=HF you set x+3=3y
<span>GH=HE so 4x-5=2y+3 </span>
<span>This gives you a system and I solved by substitution so I got x alone in the first equation-> x=3y-3 </span>
<span>then I plugged this x into the second equation so </span>
<span>4(3y-3)-5=2y+3 </span>
<span>12y-12-5=2y+3 </span>
<span>12y-17=2y+3 </span>
<span>10y=20 </span>
<span>y=2 </span>
<span>plug y into the first equation to find x </span>
<span>x=3(2)-3 </span>
<span>x=6-3 </span>
<span>x=3 </span>
<span>c. x=3, y=2</span>
