Three universities receive endowments totaling 110 million dollars. Northern U receives twice as much as wester U. Eastern Us endowments are 10 million less than the sum of those of the other two institutions.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Western U gets 20 million

Norther U gets 40 million

Eastern U gets 50 million

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the amount each university gets.

Let

Northern U get n

Western U get w

Eastern U get e

We can write equations from the given word problem:

n + w + e = 110

and

n = 2w

e = n + w - 10

Putting 2nd in 3rd, we get:

e = 2w + w - 10

e = 3w - 10

Now putting this and 2nd in first, we solve for w:

n + w + e = 110

2w + w + 3w - 10 = 110

6w = 120

w = 20

AND n = 2 (20) = 40

AND e = 3(20) - 10 = 50

So,

Western U gets 20 million

Norther U gets 40 million

Eastern U gets 50 million

A box containing 3 small bags of flour weighs 950 grams. Each bag of flour weighs 300 grams. How much does the empty box weighs?

Answers

If the box containing the 3 bags of flour weighs 950 grams, you should subtract 900 to 950.
Why?
Because each bag weighs 300 grams.
There are 3 bags.
300 * 3 = 900
When you subtract, you get 50.
This means the box weighs 50 grams.

Answers

Total 41/50 fraction or 82% part of turkey was eaten.

What is a fraction?

A fraction is a numeral that represents a rational number.

Let a and b be two numbers, then their fraction can be represented as a/b.

Given that,

Fraction of turkey eaten by Uncle Bill  = 1/4,

Percentage of turkey  eaten by Chris = 15%,

Part of turkey eaten by Timmy = 0.3 or 3/10,

Percentage of turkey eaten by Dave = 12%.

To find the fraction of turkey that was eaten,

Convert percentage into fraction

Since, percentage of turkey  eaten by Chris = 15%,

Fraction value of turkey eaten by Chris = 3/20

Also, percentage of turkey eaten by Dave = 12%.

Fraction value of turkey eaten by Dave = 3/25

Total fraction of turkey that was eaten = 1/4+3/20+3/10+3/25

                                              = (25+15+30+12)/100

                                               = 82/100

                                               = 41/50

41/50 faction of turkey was eaten.

(1 / 4) = .25
.25 * 100% = 25%
Uncle Bill ate 25%
Cousin Chris ate 15%
.3 * 100% = 30%
Cousin Timmy ate 30%
Little Dave ate 12%
You ate none.

Cousin Timmy ate the most, 18% of the turkey is left, and 82% of the turkey was eaten.
