Both Todd and Zack earn the same salary. Todd spent $716 and Zack spent $128. Then Zack had 4 times the amount of money Todd had left. How much is their salary? Please tell me how and what your answer is?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: They both earn the same salary. Call it ' S '.

After Todd spent 716, he had (S - 716) left.

After Zack spent 128, he had (S - 128) left.

The question says that Zack has 4 times as much as Todd has, so

(S - 128) = 4 times (S - 716)

Eliminate parentheses on the right side:

S - 128 = 4S - 2,864

Subtract ' S ' from each side:

-128 = 3S - 2,864

Add 2,864 to each side:

2,736 = 3S

Divide each side by 3 :

912 = S
==========================

Check:
After Todd spends 716, he has (912 - 716) = 196 left.
After Zack spends 128, he has (912 - 128) = 784 left.
784/196 = exactly 4 times.
yay !

Shiloh has to earn at least $200 to meet her fundraising goal. She has only 100 cakes that she plans to sell at 5 dollars each. Which inequality shows the number of cakes, x, Shiloh can sell to meet her goal?

Answers

Answer:

$40 \leq x \leq 100$

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 1 cake = $5

Let x be the no. of cakes

So, Cost of x cakes = 5x

Since we are given that Shiloh has to earn at least $200

So, $5x\geq 200$

$x\geq 40$

So, the no. of the cakes should be sold more than or equal to 40

We are also given that She has only 100 cakes

So, the maximum number of cakes she can sold is 100 i.e. $x\leq 100$

So, Inequality becomes : $40 \leq x \leq 100$

Hence inequality shows the number of cakes, x, Shiloh can sell to meet her goal is $40 \leq x \leq 100$

she will only have to sell 40 cakes to earn $200

A small grill can hold two hamburgers at a time. If it takes 5 minutes to cook one side of a hamburger, what is the shortest time needed to cook both sides of five hamburgers?

Answers

If you were to grill two hamburgers at the same it would take 5 minutes to grill one side of 2 hamburgers and ten minutes to grill 2 ham burgers on both sides. So 10 minutes would make two hamburgers while 20 minutes will cook 4 hamburgers than add and extra 10 minutes to cook the last hamburger on both sides.
10 minutes = 2 both side cooked hamburgers
+
10 minutes = 2 both side cooked hamburgers
+
an extra 10 minutes = another both side cooked hamburgers since we only need five
=
30 minutes in minimal time to cook five hamburgers
