Use algebra.
Let the number of stickers each had in the beginning = x stickers.
Ray lost 10 we represent this by
x - 10 ( = no. stickers he has now)
Tom bought 200 so the number of stickers he now has
= x + 200
Rays has 1/4 as much as Tom so we can now create the equation
1/4(x + 200) = x - 10
Soling for x:-
1/4 x + 50 = x - 10
60 = 3/4 x
x = 60 * 4/3 = 80
Answer they had 80 stickers at first.
The chips all together are 2.67, the candy bars total 2.5, the soda bottle is 1.89$. Add that all together for a total of 7.06. Multiply that by 1.08 to account for taxes and get 7.62.
Answer:
The value of k is 5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of k is found by dividing the numerator of the original ratio, 5, by the sum of the numerator and denominator of the ratio
When finding a point, P, to partition a line segment AB into the ratio a/b, we find a ratio c = a / (a + b)
According to this formula we find the value of k.
k = a/(a+b)
where a = 5
b = 3
Now plug the values in the formula:
k = 5/(5+3)
k = 5/8 ....
Answer:
The answer to your question is 757.1 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Ratio 1: 1.618
long side = 35 cm
Area = ?
Process
1.- Use proportions to solve this problem
1 : 1.618 :: x : 35
x = (35 x 1) / 1.618
x = 35 / 1.618
x = 21.63
2.- Calculate the area of the rectangle
Area = base x height
Area = 35 x 21.63
Area = 757.1 cm²
