Answer:

Jose's total collection is: 180

Hence, option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be Jose's total collection.

Given that Jose keeps 9 of the coins, which is only 5% of his entire collection in a box.

It means,

5% of x = 9

5/100 × x = 9

0.05 × x = 9

divide both sides by 0.05

0.05x/0.05 = 9/0.05

x = 180

Therefore, Jose's total collection is: 180

Hence, option D is correct.

3 years ago a father was 3 times as old as his son, in five years time he will be twice as old as his son, what will be the sum
ivolga24 [154]

Answer: 46 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the father's age be x and the son's age be y, then 3 years ago:

Father = x - 3

son     = y - 3

Then , from the first statement :

x - 3 = 3 ( y - 3 )

x - 3 = 3y - 9

x     = 3y - 9 + 3

x     = 3y - 6 .......................................... equation 1

In five years time

father = x + 5

son = y + 5

Then , from the second statement

x + 5 = 2 ( y + 5 )

x + 5 = 2y + 10

x       = 2y + 10 - 5

x       = 2y + 5 ........................ equation 2

Equating equation 1 and 2 , we have

3y -6 = 2y + 5

add 6 to both sides

3y = 2y + 5 + 6

subtract 2y from both sides

3y - 2y = 11

y = 11

substitute y = 11 into equation 1 to find the value of x

x = 3y - 6

x = 3(11) - 6

x = 33 - 6

x = 27

This means that the father is presently 27 years and the son is presently 11 years.

In four years time

father = 27 + 4 = 31

son = 11 + 4      = 15

sum of their ages in four years time will be

31 + 15 = 46 years

Subvert
nadezda [96]
So...lets first think about what the word means to actually determine its synonyms. 

Subvert :- To overthrow, or take down 

Since this refers to an action that is upsetting, that would best fit the synonym.

Answer; To upset
