Answer:
(hy)-(hx)=P
Step-by-step explanation: to get the total price of stock you multiply the cost of one share by how many shares were bought. After being sold years later they made a profit, you must subtract the total cost from this profit to find the total profit.
16, 5, 28 from top to bottom
Step One
Find the sum of the fractions for Monday and Tuesday
1/2 + 2/5
The common denominator for these 2 days is 10
1/2: 1*5/(2*5) = 5/10
2/5:2*2/(2*5) = 4/10
Add these two equivalent fractions together.
5/10 + 4/10 = 9/10
The first 2 days resulted in 9/10 of the shed being completed.
Step Two
Find out how much (in terms of fractions) is left of the shed.
Let the whole shed = 1
Let what has been done = 9/10
What remains is 1 - 9/10 = 1/10
Answer: 1/10 of the shed needs to be done
Ah! Inverse variation!
What divided by 2 is 8? 16
16 divided by what is 3
