If they each kept the same amount of the $50 prize, then we divide $50
by 2 people, giving each of them $25 winnings. Your question is then a
little confusing because it could be answered in two ways. Did they
each keep $20.75 out of their $25 winnings, or did the two of them keep
$20.75 in a combined total? Please read your question again to see
which might be the case. I'm answering on the assumption that they each
kept $20.75.
STEP 1:
divide total prize money by 2
= $50 ÷ 2
= $25 each won
STEP 2:
If they each kept $20.75
= $25 won - $20.75 each kept
= $4.25 each gave away
STEP 3:
multiply amount given away by 2 people
= $4.25 * 2 people
= $8.50 total given away
ANSWER: The total given to Romy is $8.50.
Hope this helps! :)
Partial Answer:
For #10 the solutions are 2 and 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solutions for an equation can be x-intercepts, or where it touches the x or horizontal line. The equation in #10 touches the x line at 2 and 5.
The answers are A and D.
The numbers that you cannot simplify without having a radical in the answer are irrational numbers.
√(4/16) = 1/4 or -1/4, rational number
√(9/16) = 3/4 or -3/4, rational number
√(9/4) = 3/2 or -3/2, rational number
√(3/16) = √(3)/4, NOT a rational number, cannot remove radical
√(3/4) = √(3)/2, NOT a rational number, cannot remove radical
