Part A

x = amount of money she starts with

(4/9)x = cost of the dress

(5/9)x = amount of money leftover after buying the dress

note that 4/9 and 5/9 add to 1 to represent 100% of her money

(3/4)*(5/9)x = (15/36)x = (5/12)x = amount spent on shoes

We see that she spent 5/12 of her original amount of money on shoes.

-----------------------

We can look at a more concrete example if the previous section does not make sense.

Let's multiply the denominators 9 and 4 to get 9*4 = 36. Doing this trick will mean that the later steps won't involve decimal values.

Let's say she starts off with $36

Multiply that with 4/9 to get (4/9)*36 = 16. So in this hypothetical situation, the dress costs $16 and she's left with 36-16 = 20 dollars.

Multiply that 20 by 3/4 to get (3/4)*20 = 15

In this situation, the shoes cost $15

We'll then divide the cost of the shoes (15) over the original amount of money she started with (36)

15/36 = (3*5)/(3*12) = 5/12

-----------------------

<h3>Answer:  5/12</h3>

=======================================================

Part B

From the first section in part A, we found that:

  • (4/9)x = amount of money spent on the dress
  • (5/12)x = amount of money spent on shoes

Add those two expressions

(4/9)x + (5/12)x = (16/36)x + (15/36)x = (31/36)x

This indicates that buying the dress and shoes will cost (31/36)x dollars, where x is the original amount of money Jing has to start with.

The amount left over is (5/36)x because 5/36 adds with 31/36 to get 1.

Take 1/3 of this to get:

(1/3)*(5/36)x = (5/108)x

Then set this equal to 18 and solve for x

(5/108)x = 18

5x = 18*108

5x = 1944

x = 1944/5

x = 388.80

--------------------

Let's check the answer

If she starts with 388.80 dollars, then the dress costs (4/9)*388.80 = 172.80

She's left with 388.80 - 172.80 = 216 dollars after buying the dress.

She then spends the remaining 3/4 of that on shoes. So (3/4)*216 = 162 dollars is spent on the shoes.

Jing now has 216 - 162 = 54 dollars left over.

1/3 of which is spent on the shoe bag, meaning it costs (1/3)*54 = 18 dollars

This confirms our answer.

--------------------

<h3>Answer:  $388.80</h3>

Determine the equations you would use to represent the situation.
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

You sold 20 student tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total tickets sold = 27

Total amount collected = $170

Cost of student ticket = $5

Cost of adult ticket = $10

Let,

x be the number of students tickets sold

y be the number of adult tickets sold

x+y = 27          Eqn 1

5x+10y=170     Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 10

10(x+y=27)

10x+10y=270     Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

(10x+10y)-(5x+10y)=270-170

10x+10y-5x-10y=100

5x=100

Dividing both sides by 5

\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{100}{5}\\x=20

Hence,

You sold 20 student tickets.

Using front-end estimation, find a reasonable estimate of:
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

21,000

Step-by-step explanation:

front end estimation requires you to take the front / first digit of each number in this expression and round.

if you don't know how to round, basically you take the next digit after the first one, (in 719 you take the 1) and determine if that's below or above 5. If below, then keep the original first number. If above, add one more to the first digit. If the number is five itself, it is most common to round up (so add one).

like 425 would round to just 400; and 676 would round to 700.

multiply  700 and 30

youd get 21000
