Answer:

k+(k+2)+(k+4)=87

The largest integer is 31.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let <em>k</em> be equal to the smallest of the integers.

Let (<em>k</em>+2) be the next odd integer.

Let (<em>k</em>+4) be the final odd integer.

We're given that the sum of these three integers is 87. Construct an equation:

k+(k+2)+(k+4)=87

Combine like terms:

k+k+2+k+4=87\\3k+6=87\\3k=81\\k=27

Therefore, the smallest integer is 27. Because the largest integer is k+4, the largest integer is therefore 31.

I hope this helps!

Shtirlitz [24]
With Calculator:
To work out the multiplier, take the percentage, divide by 100 and add 1
17.5% / 100 = 0.175
1 + 0.175 = 1.175
£50 x 1.175 = £58.75

Without Calculator:
First work out easy percentages of 50 (if needed use previous answers (such as 10) to work out smaller percentages (such as 5%))
100% = 50
10% = 5
5% = 2.5
2.5% = 1.25
10% + 5% + 2.5% = 17.5%
5 + 2.5 + 1.25 = £8.75
Add this on to the original price:
£50 + £8.75 = £58.75

The total price, including VAT, is £58.75
