Answer:

Jay started with $148.5 and Kay with $24.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information provided you know that Jay had 6 times as much money as Kay wich can be expressed as:

J=6K, where

J is the money Jay had

K is the money Kay had

Also, you know that  Jay gave Kay $33 and Jay now has twice as much money as Kay, which would be:

J-33=2(K+33)

Now, you can replace J=6K in this equation and solve for K:

6K-33=2K+66

6K-2K=66+33

4K=66

K=24.75

Then, you can replace the value of K in J=6K:

J=6*24.75

J=148.5

According to this, the answer is that Jay started with $148.5 and Kay with $24.75.

Virginia beach is about 20 miles wide and 28 miles long. if one inch of rain falls there during a daily rain shower, how many cu
S_A_V [24]
In this question, you are given the width( 20 miles), the length(28 miles) and the height( 1 inch). You are asked to count the rain water volume which was going with formula length x width x height. But the unit asked is ft, so you need to convert them all. The calculation would be:

Water volume= length x width x height
Water volume= 20 miles x 5280ft/miles x 28 miles x 5280ft/miles x 1inch x 1ft/12inch
Water volume = 1300992000 cubic ft.

The price of tiling a room varies directly as the size of the room. Sam is laying tile in his kitchen. If the tiling costs $4,22
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

239 ft².

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P represent the price for tiling.

Let S represent the size of the room.

From the question,

Price (P) varies directly as the size (S) i.e

P & S

P = KS

Where K is the constant of proportionality.

Next, we shall determine the value of K as follow

Price (P) = $ 4224

Size (S) = 264 ft²

Constant of proportionality (K) =?

P = KS

4224 = K × 264

Divide both side by 264

K = 4224/264

K = 16

Finally, we shall determine the size of the kitchen that will cost $ 3824 for tiling.

This is illustrated below:

Price (P) = $ 3824

Constant of proportionality (K) = 16

Size (S) =?

P = KS

3824 = 16 × S

Divide both side by 16

S = 3824/16

S = 239 ft²

Therefore, the size of the kitchen is 239 ft².
