Gavyn, Pip and Mark share £102 in a ratio 1:2:3. How much money does each person get?

2 answers:

8 0

Gavyn, Pip, Mark....ratio 1:2:3....total of 6. This means that Gavyn gets 1/6 of the total amount, Pip gets 2/6 of the total amount, and Mark gets 3/6 of the total amount.

the total amount is 102..

1/6 * 102 = 102/6 = 17 <== what Gavyn gets
2/6 * 102 = 204/6 = 34 <== what Pip gets
3/6 * 102 = 306/6 = 51 <== what Mark gets

A zookeeper is monitoring the population of birds. The flock needs to have exactly three times more females than males to thrive

KIM [24]

Answer:

The constraints are

$0 < x\leq 20$ and $0 < y\leq 60$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> represent the number of male birds

y ----> represent the number of female birds

we know that

The flock needs to have exactly three times more females than males to thrive

$y=3x$ ----> equation A

The zoo only has room for a maximum of 20 male birds

$0 < x\leq 20$ ----> inequality B

we know that

The maximum number of male birds is 20

For x=20

substitute in the equation A

$y=3(20)=60$

The maximum number of female birds is 60

$0 < y\leq 60$ ----> inequality C

therefore

The constraints are

$0 < x\leq 20$ and $0 < y\leq 60$

At most, Alana can spend $40 on carnival tickets. Ride tickets cost $4 each, and food tickets cost $2 each. Alana buys at least

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here let the number of ride tickets be r, and the number of food tickets be f.

Hence

$r+f\ge16\\4r+2f\le40$

We first plot the two inequalities on graph as shown in attachment. From the graph we see that the two in-equation meet at (4,12)

Hence we can see that the maximum value of r is 4

Stacey has a square piece of cloth. She cuts 3 inches off of the length of the square and 3 inches off of the width. The area of

ratelena [41]

Answer:

The side length of the original square was 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a square is

$A=b^2$

where

b is the length side of the square

Let

x ---> the length of the original square

The area of the original square is

$A=x^{2}\ in^2$

The length of the smaller square is

$b=(x-3)\ in$

The area of the smaller square is

$A=(x-3)^2\ in^2$

The area of the smaller square is 1/4 the area of the original square

$(x-3)^2=\frac{1}{4} x^{2}$

solve for x

$x^2-6x+9=\frac{1}{4} x^{2}$

Multiply by 4 both sides

$4x^2-24x+36=x^{2}$

$4x^2-x^2-24x+36=0\\3x^2-24x+36=0$

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

using a graphing tool

x=2, x=6

see the attached figure

The solution is x=6 in

Remember that the solution must be greater than 3 inches (because Stacey cuts 3 inches off of the length of the square and 3 inches off of the width)

therefore

The side length of the original square was 6 inches

Your dinner bill is $25 before tax. The tax rate is 8%. You decide to give the waiter 10% tip based on your pre-tax bill. What i

Inessa [10]

Answer:

$29.50

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the tip

tip = pre tax bill * 10 %

tip = 25 * .10

tip =2.5

Next we need to find the tax

tax = pre tax bill * 8%

tax = 25 * .08

tax =2

Final bill = pre tax bill + tax + tip

Final bill = 25 + 2 + 2.5

=29.50
