First, use distributive property on the right half.
2 * 5 = 10
2 * 2n = 4n
4n - 9 = 10 + 4n
Add 9 to both sides
4n = 19 + 4n
Subtract 4n from both sides
0 = 19
But thats not true. Therefore, there is no solution.
1.5x1/5=.3
half of 1.5 (because of 2 lbs of dried fruit ) is .75
.75+.3=.78 cents for 1 lb
Answer:
Kelly will still have more money than Luis
Kelly will have 25% more
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount of money Kelly has and y, Luis
Luis has $40
and Kelly has 50% more money than Luis
Therefore, Kelly has;
50% of $40 + $40
= 0.5*40 + 40
= $60
If Luis gets $8 more, Luis will have;
$8 + $40 = $48
since Luis' $48 is less than Kelly's $60, Kelly will still have more money than Luis
Difference in their money = $60 - $48 = $12
Therefore, Kelly will have;
12/48 * 100 more than Luis
= 25% more
Answer: 162.00 or 40.50 or 202.50
Step-by-step explanation:
$6.75 times 30 = 202.50
202.50 times 0.2 = 40.50
202.50 minus 40.50 = 162.00
