Well you didn't post the expressions but let X be the amount of money for first place. This means X-50 would be the amount of second place because <span>each subsequent place after 1st wins $50 less than the previous place. Thirds, would be X-50-50 or X-100
Thus the total amount of money would be all of the values combined which is X+X-50+X-100=3X-150

Answer:
2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
To write an equation to find the value for c, we need to declare what c is first.
c = price of fruit
2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75
Now we multiplied c to 2.45 and 1.65 and added them together, because whatever the value of c is will give us the equivalence of the sum of 4.12 + 0.75.
Now to check if the equation is right, let's solve for c.
2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75
4.1c = 4.87
Now to get the value of c, we divide both sides of the equation by 4.1.

c = 1.19
Now let's substitute the value of c in the equation to see if we got it right.
2.45(1.19) + 1.65(1.19) = 4.12 + 0.75
2.92 + 1.96 = 4.87
4.87 = 4.87
Therefore concluding that the value of c is 1.19.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
BC:BN=8:3
Step-by-step explanation:
ABCD is a trapezoid and there is a point m which belongs to AD such that AM:MD=3:5.Line "l" parallel to AB intersects the diagonal AC at p and BD at N.
Now, we know that the parallel lines divide the transversal into the segments with equal ratio, therefore, BN:NC=AM:MD
But, BC= BN+NC
Therefore, BC:BN=(BN+NC):BN
⇒BC:BN=(3+5):3
⇒BC:BN=8:3
