Using a system of equations, it is found that initially Ada has $0.385.

For the system, we have that the variables are:

  • x is Ada's amount.
  • y is Betty's amount.
  • z is Chris's amount.
  • w is David's amount.

$45 total, hence:

x + y + z + w = 45

Ada <u>gets 2 from Betty</u>, hence:

x + 2 = y - 2

x = y - 4

y = x + 4

<u>Chris triples</u> his money and <u>David's</u> money is <u>cut by half</u> four of them have the same amount, hence:

x + 4 = y = 3z = \frac{w}{2}

Then:

3z = x + 4

z = \frac{x + 4}{3}

x + 4 = \frac{w}{2}

w = 2x + 8

Solving for w, we find Ada's initial amount.

x + y + z + w = 45

x + x + 4 + \frac{x + 4}{3} + 2x + 8 = 45

4x + 12 + \frac{x + 4}{3} = 45

12x + 36 + x + 4 = 45

13x = 5

x = \frac{5}{13}

x = 0.385

Initially, Ada has $0.385.

Find two numbers if their difference is 16 and their ratio is 5:7.
myrzilka [38]

Let us say that the numbers are x and y. The given clues are:

1. x – y = 16         (so x is the larger number)

2. y / x = 5 / 7

 

rewriting eqtn 2 in terms of y:

y = (5/7) x

 

combining 1 and 2:

x – (5/7) x = 16

(2/7) x = 16

x = 56

 

y = (5/7) x = 40

 

So the two numbers are 56 and 40.
