Answer:
$34
Step-by-step explanation:
I'd work backwards.
For the third book, she paid all her remaining money. The problem says she paid "1/2 her leftover money + $3". This means that: (let m = money used to buy book 3)
m = 1/2m + 3
1/2m = 3
m = 6
For the second book: (let n = money before book 2)
n - m (money left after book 2) = 1/2n + 2
1/2n +2 is money used up for book, which is the same as n-m.
n = 1/2n + 2 + m
1/2n = 2 + m = 2 + 6
1/2n =8
n = 16
For the first book, she spent 1/2 her money + 1. If o = money before book 1 (or the whole allowance):
o - n = 1/2o + 1
o = 1/2o + n + 1 = 1/2o + 16 + 1
1/2o = 17
o = 34
Check!
Spent 17 (half 34) + 1 on book 1
16 left
Spent 8 (half 16) +2 on book 2
6 left
Spent 3 (half 6) + 3 on book 3
0 left
Complete question :
Harry fills up his Jeep with gasoline and notes that the odometer reading is 23,568.7 miles. The next time he fills up his Jeep, he pays for 12.6 gallons of gasoline. He notes his odometer reading is 23,706.3 miles. How many miles per gallon did he get?
Answer:
10.9 miles per gallon
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Odometer reading when filled up with gasoline = 23,568.7 miles
Odometer reading with 12.6 gallons of gasoline = 23,706.3 miles
Miles per gallon gotten :
(Current Odometer reading - reading when filled up) / gallon of gasoline
(23706.3 - 23568.7) / 12.6
= 10.920634
= 10.9 miles per gallon
Answer:
20 Students
