Set x equal to the amount of money Kim gets, and y for Molly's money.
x = 2/5y, since the ratio is 2:5.
y = 105 + x, since Molly has 105 more pounds than Kim.
Substitute x into this equation, so that y = 105 + 2/5y. Subtract 2/5y from both sides to get 3/5y = 105. Divide each side by 0.6 (equivalent to 3/5) and you get y = 175, which is how much Molly has. Kim gets 2/5 of Molly's share (or 105 fewer pounds), so she has 70.
70 + 175 (Kim and Molly's shares) is equal to 245. Therefore, Laura receives the remaining 140 pounds.
140/385 = a/100
Cross multiply so that 385a is 14000. Divide by 385 to get 36.4 (rounded).
Thus, Laura receives about 36.4% of the total money. Hope this helps (:

Answer:
C) 12/20
Step-by-step explanation:
Between 1 and 20, 10 numbers are even, 4 numbers are perfect squares (1, 4, 9, and 16), and 2 numbers are both even and perfect squares (4 and 16).
So the probability is:
(10 + 4 − 2) / 20 = 12/20.
Answer: Each shirt costs $1.25, and each hat costs $2.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x= Cost per T-shirt, y = Cost per Hat.
As per given,
3x+3y=11.25 (i)
4x+2y=10 (ii)
Multiply 4 to equation (i)
12x+12y=45 (iii)
12x+6y= 30 (iv)
Eliminate (iv) from (iii), we get
6y= 15
⇒ y = 2.5
Put value of y in (i)
3x+3(2.5)=11.25
⇒3x+7.5=11.25
⇒3x= 3.75
⇒x= 1.25
Hence, each shirt costs $1.25, and each hat costs $2.5.
