So I would first find out when they are equal then do one more than that. 21x=18x+45, 3x=45, x=15 so the answer would be 16 jerseys
120% of 12 is 14.4.I got this by doing this:
12/x=100/120
<span>(12/x)*x=(100/120)*x - </span>we multiply both sides of the equation by x
<span>12=0.833333333333*x - </span>we divide both sides of the equation by (0.833333333333) to get x
<span>12/0.833333333333=x </span>
<span>14.4=x </span>
<span>x=14.4</span>
1 quarter = 25 cents (he has 2 therefore its 50 cents)
10 dimes = 100 cents = 1 dollar
Oliver has twice as many dimes than he does quarters because 100 divided by 50 = 2. Hope this helps!
Answer:
$110
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a, b, and c represent the earnings of Alan, Bob, and Charles. The problem statement tells us ...
a + b + c = 480 . . . . . . the combined total of their earnings
-a + b = 40 . . . . . . . . . . Bob earned 40 more than Alan
2a - c = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . Charles earned twice as much as Alan
Adding the first and third equations, we get ...
(a + b + c) + (2a - c) = (480) + (0)
3a + b = 480
Subtracting the second equation gives ...
(3a +b) - (-a +b) = (480) -(40)
4a = 440 . . . . . . . . simplify
a = 110 . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of a
Alan earned $110.
_____
<em>Check</em>
Bob earned $40 more, so $150. Charles earned twice as much, so $220.
The total is then $110 +150 +220 = $480 . . . . as required
