This is about conversion of currencies.

He spent £25 on the first day.

We are told he had spent £28 over 7 days.

Each day, he spends 50 pence more than the previous day. This means that;

From conversion,

1 pound = 100 pence

Thus, 50 pence = (50 × 1)/100 = £0.5

If the money he spent on the first day is £x.

On second day, he would have spent a total of; £(x + 0.5)

On third day; x + 0.5 + 0.5= x + 1

On fourth day; x + 1 + 0.5 = x + 1.5

On fifth day; x + 1.5 + 0.5 = x + 2

On sixth day; x + 2 + 0.5 = x + 2.5

On seventh day; x + 2.5 + 0.5 = x + 3

Thus; x + 3 = 28

x = 28 - 3

x = £25

The ratio of blue marbles to red marbles in a box is 3 to 2. if there are 12 blue marbles in a box then how many red marbles are

valkas [14]

The answer is: 8 red marbles!

This is because the equation can be written out like this
Blue to red - 3:2
Now it is, blue to red - 12:x

We have to think, what is the difference from the first equation to the second. We know the number 3 times 4 = 12, so we would do the same for the red, 2 times 4=8

If this helped, give me brainliest :)

2x - y2 Z-5 Evaluate when x = 2, y = 4 z=3

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Putting the value in x = 2 , y =4 in 2x - 2y we get,

2 × 2 - 4× 2= 4-8 = -4

Putting the value in z = 3 in z - 5 we get,

z - 5 = 3 - 5 = -2
