Let's call their parts w,m and s
if will paid 1/3, then m+s=2w (they paid 2/3, which is twice as much as will did)
Now, we know that:
Micah and Sue paid in the ratio 2:3.
this means the 3m=2s
and m=2/3s
Again:
m+s=2w
and we substitute m:
2/3s+s=2w
5/3s=2w// multiply both sides by 3
5s=6w
we also know that s=w+6 (from the last sentence) so we substitute:
5(w+6)=6w
5w+30=6w
30=w
so, Will paid 30, Sue paid 36 (six more than him), Mike paid 24 (24:36 is the same ratio as 2:3, you can check this by dividing both 24 and 36 by 12: you have 2 and 3)
and the total was 30+36+24=90.

If you plug in the values in that equation, it works.
I assume the heights are 160 ft and 1480 ft.
The two heights are unknown, so we will use variable h to help solve the problem.
The shorter building, building A, has height h.
Since building A is shorter by 160 ft, then building B is taller by 160 ft, so the height of building B is h + 160.
Now we add our two heights to find the total height.
h + h + 160 is the total height.
We can write it as 2h + 160
We are told the total height is 1480 ft, so we let 2h + 160 equal 1480, and we have an equation.
2h + 160 = 1480
Subtract 160 from both sides
2h = 1320
Divide both sides by 2
h = 660
h + 160 = 820
Building A measures 660 ft.
building B measures 820 ft.
Answer:
Okay look at the graph, at x = 11, the y of the line is between 500 and 450. 500+450=950
950/2=475 so (11,475)
Let's take x=6, the y would then be 600. If x=9, y would be 525. Just try to look at the graph and see from there. Let me know the answer.
For the first part:Every shirt she grabs, will cost her dollars, so if she grabs 3 shirts, then the cost of the shirts is:

With the same rationale, if she grabs 2 pairs of jeans, the cost of the jeans is:

So, her total is:

If you subtract 3 from the total, then the expression is:
For the second part:If she's paying 3 less for each shirt, then the cost of 3 shirts will become:

In the same fashion, for the two jeans:

So the expression for the total cost is:
For number three:The amounts are different because the cost of the total purchase is different than the cost of each element that makes up the total purchase.
For number four:If you're the owner, you want to give the smallest amount of discount (the one in part 1/a).
So you could clarify by saying there's 3 dollars of the TOTAL purchase's cost.
