Answer:

The mentioned number in the exercise is:

  • <u>362</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the mentioned number in the exercise, first you must write the equations you can obtain with it.

If:

  • x = hundredths digit
  • y = tens digit
  • z = ones digit

We can write:

  1. x = z + 1 (the hundreds digit is one more than the ones digit).
  2. y = 2x (the tens digit is twice the hundreds digit).
  3. x + y + z = 11 (the sum of the digits is 11).

Taking into account these data, we can use the third equation and replace it to obtain the number and the value of each digit:

  • x + y + z = 11
  • (z + 1) + y + z = 11 (remember x = z + 1)
  • z + 1 + y + z = 11
  • z + z +y + 1 = 11 (we just ordered the equation)
  • 2z + y + 1 = 11 (z + z = 2z)
  • 2z + y = 11 - 1 (we passed the +1 to the other side of the equality to subtract)
  • 2z + y = 10
  • 2z + (2x) = 10 (remember y = 2x)
  • 2z + 2x = 10
  • 2z + 2(z + 1) = 10 (x = z + 1 again)
  • 2z + 2z + 2 = 10
  • 4z + 2 = 10
  • 4z = 10 - 2
  • 4z = 8
  • z = 8/4
  • <u>z = 2</u>

Now, we know z (the ones digit) is 2, we can use the first equation to obtain the value of x:

  • x = z + 1
  • x = 2 + 1
  • <u>x = 3</u>

And we'll use the second equation to obtain the value of y (the tens digit):

  • y = 2x
  • y = 2(3)
  • <u>y = 6</u>

Organizing the digits, we obtain the number:

  • Number = xyz
  • <u>Number = 362</u>

As you can see, <em><u>the obtained number is 362</u></em>.

Alexxandr [17]
The surface area of a sphere is:  4pr^2

(4p(36^2)ft^2)(gal/160ft^2)

(5184p ft^2)(gal/160ft^2)=32.4p gal which is approximately:

101.78 gal

So the company must purchase 102 gallons of paint.

The price of a watch was increased by 20% to £144. What was the price before the increase?
hammer [34]

Answer:

120 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the new cost is 144 pounds and this is 20% more,  this is 120% of the original price. Remember 100+20 = 120. To find the original price set up a proportion with these values:

\frac{144}{x}=\frac{120}{100}

Solve for the original price by cross multiplying numerator with denominator.

x(120) = 144(100)

120x = 14400

x= 120 pounds
