Answer: There are 175 pages in the book.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Elena read 20 more pages than Andre and she read 55 pages, to find out how much Andre read you have to:

55-20= the pages Andre read

55-20=35

Andre read 35 pages.

If Andre read 1/5 of the book, then to find how many pages are in the book, you have to multiply 35 x 5. (Multiply by the reciprocal)

35 x 5= 175

There are 175 pages in the book.

What is a 15% tip on a meal that costs $25.00
nataly862011 [7]
25.00/ 10= 2.50
 \\ 2.50*1.5= 3.75 \\ 25.00+3.75= 28.75
As you've got 15%, the best thing to do is to find 10%, then multiply it by 1.5. Once you've found the tip, you add this onto the cost of the meal.
Therefore, the total cost of $25 meal with a 15% tip is $28.75
Hope this helps :)

Jeanine is twice as old as her brother Marc. If the sum of their ages is 24. How old is Jeanine?
Tanya [424]
Let Marc's age be x. If Jeanine is twice as old as Marc, then her age will be 2x. If their ages added together are 24, then you can create the following equation:

2x + x = 24
3x = 24
x = 8

Remember that x is Marc's age. So if Marc is 8, and Jeanine is twice as old, she will be 16.

Find the slope, Y-intercept, and equation (make sure there is no decimals if there is a decimal make it into a fraction)!
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Slope is 5/3

y-intercept = -3

y = 5/3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, take to coordinates and use the equation below

m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

7-2 = 5

6-3= 3

Now you have your slope which is 5/3

Then take the slope and input it into point slope form to get your y-intercept.

y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

y-2 = 5/3(x-3)

y-2=5/3x-5

add two to both sides to get Y by itself

y = 5/3x - 3

now you have your y-intercept, which is -3

Then check your answer by inputing two different coordinates for X and Y

7 = 5/3(6)-3

7=7

12= 5/3(9)-3

12=12
