Answer:

Michael 24

Noor 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio is 4:7

The initial quatity is 4x and 7x

After giving 3 shares the quatities are

4x - 3 and 7x + 3

Set equal to the new ratio

(4x - 3) / (7x + 3) = 7 / 15

Cross multiply

15(4x - 3) = 7(7x + 3)

Distribute

60x - 45 = 49x + 21

Add 45 to both sides

60x = 49x + 66

Subtract 49x from both sides

11x = 66

Divide both sides by 11

x = 6

Therefor

4x = 4*6 = 24 <–––– Michael's initial quantity

7x = 7*6 = 42 <–––– Noor's initial quantity

The sum of a number and 3 times its reciprocal is -4.Find the number
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

x = -1 or x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3/x = -4

x² + 3 = -4x

x² + 4x + 3 = 0

(x + 1) (x + 3) = 0

x = -1 or x = -3

check: (-1) + (3/-1) = -1 - 3 = -4

           (-3) + (3/(-3)) = -3 -1 = 14

Michelle ordered 200 T-shirts to sell at the school carnival. She paid $2.80 per shirt, plus 5% of the total order for shipping.
djyliett [7]

Answer: She should sell each T-Shirt for at least $4.41

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to figure out what the total cost of the 200 t shirts was plus shipping. so 200 t shirts for 2.8 would cost $560 + a 5% shipping fee ($28) = 588 if she wants to markup by 150. you would then multiply 588 * 1.5 = $882. This would be the final money she wants to make by the end of her school carnival. Divide 882/200 (amnt of t-shirts) to get $4.41 per shirt
