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:
1.07142857143 (1 rounded)
Step-by-step explanation:
3/14 of 5 is 1.07142857143
The surface area of the prism will be given by:
SA=2(L×W)+2(L×H)+2(H×W)
SA=2(12×5)+2(12×9)+2(5×9)
SA=120+216+90
SA=426m²
Answer: 426m²
