Answer:

Beck caught 45 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

a = number of fish Ally caught

b = number of fish Beck caught

They caught a total of 75 fish, so we have:

b + a = 75  

From the facts in our question we know Ally would have caught 75 fewer fish than Beck.

3b = 2a + 75  

a = 75 - b

3b = 2(75 - b) + 75

3b = 150 - 2b + 75

5b = 225

5b ÷ 5 = 225 ÷ 5

b = 45

Answer:

<em>Beck actually caught 45 fish</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

We call the following variables:

x = number of fish Ally caught

y = number of fish Beck caught

They caught a total of 75 fish, thus:

x + y = 75      [1]

If Ally had caught twice as much fish as she actually did, and Beck had caught three times as many fish as he actually did, then Ally would have caught 75 fewer fish than Beck, thus:

3y = 2x + 75      [2]

From [1]:

x = 75 - y      [3]

Substituting in [2]:

3y = 2(75 - y) + 75

Operating:

3y = 150 - 2y + 75

Simplifying:

5y = 225

Dividing by 5:

y = 45

Beck actually caught 45 fish

A father decided to give twenty five percent of his monthly income to his three children as their monthly allowance. The eldest
Helen [10]

Answer:

The youngest child will receive $2000

Step-by-step explanation:

A father decided to give 25% of his monthly income to his three children as their monthly allowance.

The eldest child got 45% of the allowance and the youngest got 20%. This means that the second child got:

100 - (45 + 20) = 100 - 65 = 35%

The second child received $3500.

Let the 25% of his monthly income be x.

Hence:

35% of x = 3500

=> \frac{35}{100} * x = 3500

x = \frac{3500 * 100}{35}

x = $10000

The amount the man shared among his children is $10000.

Hence, the youngest child (20%) will receive:

20% of $10000

\frac{20}{100} * 10000

= $2000

The youngest child will receive $2000.
