Answer:

a = 12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark is 6 years older than his brother Sam. Now, we are asked to represent Sam’s age by a. This means that if Sam is a years old, Mark is (a + 6) years old.

The sum of their ages is 30, this means that when we add their ages together, we get the sum of thirty.

Mathematically this means a + a + 6 = 30

2a + 6 = 30

This is the equation needed to get a. To get a , we proceed to solve the equation to completion.

2a = 30 - 6

2a = 24

a = 24/2

a = 12

The circle shown has center o and radius 4. what is the area of the shaded region?
Vlad [161]

The ratio of his savings: expenses = 7: 5

So, total of the ratio is = 7 +5 =12

His savings will be 7/12* allowance

His expenses will be 5/12 * allowance

We know that the allowance that he gets is $3

His savings = 7/12 * allowances  

His savings = 7/12 * 3

His savings = $7/4 or 1 ¾  

Now, we convert the 7/4 (or 1 ¾) into a decimal.  

1 ¾ when converted is decimal is 1.75

His Savings = $1.75

Plums are 6 for $1.50, and a sign by the apples that are 5 for $3.00. What is the total cost of buying 2 plums and 2 apples?
Doss [256]

Answer:

The answer is $1.70

Step-by-step explanation:

If 6 plums are $1.50 you would divide $1.50 by 6 to get the unit cost, $.25. Then you do the same thing for the apples. $3.00 divided by the 5 apples is $.60. Now you need to multiply both unit costs by 2 then add them together to get $1.70

(plums)  $1.50 / 6 = .25

(apples) $3.00 / 5 = .60

(plums)  .25 x 2 = .50

(apples) .60 x 2 = $1.20

$1.20 + .50 = $1.70

Hopefully I could help!!
