$36 will be enough because 3.99 multiplied by 8.8 is around $35.11 which is less than $36.

36.00 will be enough to pay for fuel because if you multiply the 8.8 gallons of diesel needed by the fuel cost per gallon you get 35.112

In-s [12.5K]

Given:

|x-4(72)|=2

To find:

The highest and lowest scores Sam could have made in the tournament.

Solution:

We have,

|x-4(72)|=2

|x-288|=2

It can be written as

x-288=\pm 2

Add 288 on both sides.

x=288\pm 2

x=288-2 and x=288+2

x=286 and x=290

Therefore, the highest and lowest scores Sam could have made in the tournament are 290 and 286 respectively.

Pudge has three times as many apples as Ace, and Ace has twice as many as Christi. How many apples does each have if pudge has 1
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

<h3>Pudge has 12 morethan apples that is 24 apples and both Ace and Christi has not more than 12 apples together they has atmost 12 apples.The apples does each having is</h3><h3>P = Pudge's Apples =24</h3><h3>A = Ace's Apples =8</h3><h3>and C = Christi's Apples=4.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P = Pudge's Apples

Let A = Ace's Apples

Let C = Christi's Apples

<h3>To find how many apples does each have if Pudge has 12 more than both Ace and Christi together:</h3>

Given that P = 3A  , A = 2C  and P = A + C + 12

 Substitute the value for P in P = A + C + 12 we get

3A = A + C + 12

3A-A=C+12  

2A=C+12

From A = 2C we have that  C=\frac{A}{2}

 Substitute the value  C:

 2A=\frac{A}{2}+12

 2A-\frac{A}{2}=12

 \frac{4A-A}{2}=12

\frac{3A}{2}=12

3A=12\times 2

A=\frac{24}{3}

<h3>∴  A=8</h3>

 Substituting the value of A in P=3A we get

 P = 3(8)

<h3>∴ P = 24 </h3>

   Substituting the values of P and A in P = A + C + 12

24=8+C+12

24=C+20

24-20=C

4=C

Rewritting we get

<h3>∴ C=4 </h3><h3>Hence Pudge has 12 morethan apples that is 24 apples </h3><h3>and both Ace and Christi has not more than 12 apples together they has atmost 12 apples</h3>
