For a school fund raising project, Aiden and Jacob collected money in the ratio of 3.5 : 6.8. Jacob collected $115.50 more than Aiden. Find the total amount of money they collected.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: x - the amount of money collected by Aiden
y - the amount of money collected by Jacob

Aiden and Jacob collected money in the ratio of 3.5 : 6.8.
$(x)/(y)=(3.5)/(6.8) \n6.8x=3.5y \nx=(3.5)/(6.8)y \n x=(35)/(68)y$

Jacob collected $115.50 more than Aiden.
$x+115.5=y \nx=y-115.5 \n \nx=x \n(35)/(68)y=y-115.5 \n(35)/(68)y-y=-115.5 \n(35)/(68)y-(68)/(68)y=-115.5 \n-(33)/(68)y=-115.5 \ny=-115.5 * (-(68)/(33)) \ny=238 \n \nx=y-115.5=238-115.5=122.5 \n \nx+y=238+122.5=360.5$

The total amount of money they collected is $360.50.

Answers

8/11 9/10 are some examples of lowest terms
LowestTerm is a fraction that has the lowest termed. You will say if thefraction is in lowest term if the two has no common factor. Hope Ihelped.

It is already reduced to lowest terms because 11 cannot be reduced evenly but 8 can. So it is in its lowest terms.

The formula A=6S can be used to find the surface area of a cube that has a side length of X units use the formula to find the surface area of the box 8 1/2 in. • 8 1/2 in. • 8 1/2in.

Answers

if the dimensions of the box are 8.5 in by 8.5 in by 8.5 in then the area of 1 side of the box will be 8.5x8.5 which equals 72.25 square in

multiply that by 6 and you get 433.5 square inches

After 3 weeks, a corn plant is 2 feet tall. After 9 weeks, the plant is 8 feet tall. Write an equation that represents the height y (in feet) of the corn plant after x weeks.

Answers

Y=x-1. X repents weeks and 3 minus 1 = 2 and 9 minus 1 = 8.

seeing weeks is "x" and height of the plant is "y" think of the numbers given as coordinates.
(3,2) & (9,8)

to make an equation, you have to find the slope by:

(y2-y1) (8-2) 6 1
---------- = ------ = --- = ---
(x2-x1) (9-3) 6 1

then you use the set up "y=mx+b" where "m" is your slope, and "B" is the height that it already had.

so far it should look like this: y=1x+b
In order to find the "B" you take one of the coordinates and replace the "X" and "Y" with what ever numbers they are.

For instance: (2)=1(3)+b then you solve for "B"

2=3+b
-3 -3
--------
-1 = b
then you replace "B" with what you found and it should now look like this:
y=1x-1 or y=x-1 because x is the same as 1x in a equation.

You have $75.00 to spend at the mall. You want to buy a hoodie that costs $80.00. The store is having a 20%-off sale. (There is no tax on clothing.) Can you buy the hoodie? If so, how much money will you have left?

Answers

ok so find 20% off and see if less tha 75
percent means parts out of 100
20% means 20/100=1/5

'of' means multiply

20% of 80=1/5 times 80=16

off means subtract
disctoun tof 16 is 80-16=64
64<75

how much left over
75-spent=left over
75-64=11

anwwer is $11 left over and enough money to buy

hey there i see you need help so i am here to do just that you CAN buy the hoodie because 20% of 80.00 is 16 so you subtract 16 from 80.00 and get 64
