Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
So tis is a ratio 16 is to 3 or 16:3
if use 64 tea bags then how many cups of sugar so
turn 16:3 into fraction
16:3=16/3 or 3/16, it doesn't matter
then you want to find 64:x or 64/x or x/64
we know that 16/3=64/x because it tis an equivalent ratio
so 16/3=64/x
multiply both sdies by (3 times x)
16 times x times 3/3=64 times 3 times x/x
16 times x=64 times 3
16x=192
divide both sdies by 16
x=12
theanswer is 12 cups of sugar
Split it up
3x^2+12x-5x-20
group
(3x^2+12x)+(-5x-20)
factor
(3x)(x+4)+(-5)(x+4)
undistribute (x+4) like ab+ac=a(b+c)
(3x-5)(x+4)
Answer: sally initially has $240, Tom initially has $180.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let initial amount of money sally has = x
Then, initial amount tom has = 75% * x = 0.75x
Now to present,
Amount sally has = x -120
Amount tom has = [x - 120] + [50% * (x-120)]
= x - 120 + 0.5x - 180
= 1.5x - 180
Since Tom didn't spend, it means this is the same amount tom has then we equate both equations.
0.75x = 1.5x - 180
180 = 0.75x
x = 240
Therefore, initial money of sally of sally = $240
Initial money of tom = 240 * 0.75 = $180.
