Grandmother, mother and daughter are celebrating 150 years of life. The Mother is 25 years older thaGrandmother, mother and daughter are celebrating 150 years of life. The Mother is 25 years older than her daughter, but 31 years younger than her mother (the grandmother). How old are the three
Let grandmother's age be g. Let mother's age be m. Let daughter's age be d. We're given 3 equations:
[LIST=1]
[*]m = d + 25
[*]m = g - 31
[*]d + g + m = 150
[/LIST]
This means the daughter is:
d = 25 + 31 = 56 years younger than her grandmother. So we have:
4. d = g - 56
Plugging in equation (2) and equation(4) into equation (3) we get:
g - 56 + g + g - 31
Combine like terms:
3g - 87 = 150

Henrietta hired a tutor to help her improve her math scores. While working with the tutor, she tookHenrietta hired a tutor to help her improve her math scores. While working with the tutor, she took four tests. She scored 10 points better on the second test than she did on the first, 20 points better on the third test than on the first, and 30 points better on the fourth test than on the first. If the mean of these four tests was 70, what was her score on the third test?

The probability of all event is 1, or 100%.
If we treat the success of an event as p, then q is 1 - p.

if the ratio of 2x to 5y is 3 to 4, what is the ratio of x to y?if the ratio of 2x to 5y is 3 to 4, what is the ratio of x to y?
Set up our given ratio:
2x/5y = 3/4
Cross multiply:

Let b be the brother's age.
We're given the following relationship for the brother's age and my age:
b/3 + 20 = 31
Subtract 20 from each side:

We're given two equations:

Add 4 to each side:

Melissa has a fixed cost of $264 per month in fuel. No variable cost is given. Our cost function is:
C(x) = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost. With variable cost of 0, we have:
C(x) = 264
The revenue per lawn is 53. So R(x) = 53x where x is the number of lawns.
Now, profit is Revenue - Cost. Our profit function is:
P(x) = 53x - 264
To make a profit of $800 per month, we set P(x) = 800.
53x - 264 = 800

Suppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the amount of fuel (in gaSuppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the amount of fuel (in gallons) in its tank. When carrying 20 gallons of fuel, the airplane weighs 2012 pounds. When carrying 55 gallons of fuel, it weighs 2208 pounds. How much does the airplane weigh if it is carrying 65 gallons of fuel?
Linear functions are written in the form of one dependent variable and one independent variable. Using g as the number of gallons and W(g) as the weight, we have:

We are given:

Using our givens, we have:

W(55) = 55x + c = 2208
Rearranging both equations, we have:
c = 2012 - 20x
c = 2208 - 55x
Set them both equal to each other:
2012 - 20x = 2208 - 55x
Add 55x to each side:
35x + 2012 = 2208
Using our [URL='http://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=35x%2B2012%3D2208&pl=Solve']equation solver[/URL], we see that x is 5.6
Plugging x = 5.6 back into the first equation, we get:
c = 2012 - 20(5.6)
c = 2012 - 112
c = 2900
Now that we have all our pieces, find W(65)
W(65) = 65(5.6) + 2900
W(65) = 264 + 2900

The difference between the squares of two consecutive numbers is 141. Find the numbersThe difference between the squares of two consecutive numbers is 141. Find the numbers
Take two consecutive numbers:
n- 1 and n
Given a difference (d) between the squares of two consecutive numbers, the shortcut for this is:
2n - 1 = d
Proof of this:
n^2- (n - 1)^2 = d
n^2 - (n^2 - 2n + 1) = d
n^2 - n^2 + 2n - 1 = d
2n - 1 = d
Given d = 141, we have
2n - 1 = 141
Add 1 to each side:
2n = 142
Divide each side by 2:
2n/2 = 142/2
n = [B]71[/B]
Therefore, n - 1 = [B]70
Our two consecutive numbers are (70, 71)[/B]
Check your work
70^2 = 4900

Calculate new mean after the next person enters the room.
New Mean = (Sum of Ages in Years + New person's age) / (5 + 1)

Three people went to lunch and bought a large meal which they all split. The total cost, including tThree people went to lunch and bought a large meal which they all split. The total cost, including tip, was $30. Each person paid $10 to the waitress and started to leave the restaurant. As they left, the waitress came running up to them with five dollars saying that she made a mistake and that the meal and tip should have cost only $25.
The waitress then gave each person one dollar, but didn't know how to split the remaining two dollars. They told her to keep the extra two dollars as an additional tip.
When the people started talking about what had just happened, they started getting confused. They had each paid $10 for the meal and received one dollar back, so they each really paid $9 for the meal for a total of $27. Add the two dollars of extra tip and the total is $29. Where did the extra one dollar go?
[B]The missing dollar is not really missing. The cost of the meal is really $27. The $25 plus the extra two dollar tip was given to the waitress -- $27
What we have is the cost ($27) plus the refund ($3) = $30.
The $30 that was originally paid is accounted for as follows:
Restaurant + regular waitress tip: $25
Three people: $3 (refund)
Waitress: $2 (extra tip)
$25 + $3 + $2 = $30[/B]

To rent a car it costs $12 per day and $0.50 per kilometer traveled. If a car were rented for 5 daysTo rent a car it costs $12 per day and $0.50 per kilometer traveled. If a car were rented for 5 days and the charge was $110.00, how many kilometers was the car driven?
Using days as d and kilometers as k, we have our cost equation:

two numbers have an average of 2100 and one number is $425 more than the other number. What are thetwo numbers have an average of 2100 and one number is $425 more than the other number. What are the numbers
Let the first number be x and the second number be y. We're given two equations:
[LIST=1]
[*](x + y)/2 = 2100 (Average)
[*]y = x + 425
[/LIST]
Rearrange equation (1) by cross multiplying
x + y = 2 * 2100
x + y = 4200
So we have our revised set of equations:
[LIST=1]
[*]x + y = 4200
[*]y = x + 425

Substituting equation (2) into equation (1) for y, we get:

Van needs to enter a formula into a spreadsheet to show the outputs of an arithmetic sequence that sVan needs to enter a formula into a spreadsheet to show the outputs of an arithmetic sequence that starts with 13 and continues to add seven to each output. For now, van needs to know what the 15th output will be. Complete the steps needed to determine the 15th term in sequence.
Given a first term a1 of 13 and a change amount of 7, expand the series
The explicit formula for an [I]arithmetic series[/I] is an = a1 + (n - 1)d
d represents the common difference between each term, an - an - 1
Looking at all the terms, we see the common difference is 7, and we have a1 = 13
Therefore, our explicit formula is an = 13 + 7(n - 1)
If n = 15, then we plug it into our explicit formula above:
an = 13 + 7(n - 1)
a(15) = 15 + 7(15 - 1)
a(15) = 15 + 7 * 14

You are purchasing carpeting for an office building. The space to be carpeted is 30 feet by 50 feet.You are purchasing carpeting for an office building. The space to be carpeted is 30 feet by 50 feet. Company A charges $2.99 per square foot plus a $200 installation charge. Company B charges $19.99 per square yard plus a $500 installation charge. What is the best deal?
Did you notice the word snuck in on this problem? Company B is given in square [I][B]yards[/B][/I], not feet. Let's convert their price to square feet to match company A.
[U]Company B conversion:[/U]
Since we have 1 square yard = 3 feet * 3 feet = 9 square feet, we need to solve the following proportion:
$19.99/square yard * 1 square yard/9 feet = $19.99 square yard / 9 feet = $2.22 / square foot.
Now, let's set up the cost equations C(s) for each Company in square feet (s)
[LIST]
[*]Company A: C(s) = 200 + 2.99s
[*]Company B: C(s) = 500 + 2.22s
[/LIST]
The problem asks for s = 30 feet * 50 feet = 1500 square feet. So we want to calculate C(1500)
[U]Company A:[/U]
C(1500) = 200 + 2.99(1500)
C(1500) = 200 + 4485
C(1500) = 4685
[U]Company B:[/U]
C(1500) = 500 + 2.22(1500)
C(1500) = 500 + 3330
C(1500) = 3830
Since [B]Company B[/B] has the lower cost per square foot, they are the better buy.
You buy a container of cat litter for $12.25 and a bag of cat food for x dollars. The total purchaseYou buy a container of cat litter for $12.25 and a bag of cat food for x dollars. The total purchase is $19.08, which includes 6% sales tax. Write and solve an equation to find the cost of the cat food.
Our purchase includes at cat litter and cat food. Adding those together, we're given:
12.25 + x = 19.08

x = 6.83
Since the cat food includes sales tax, we need to remove the sales tax of 6% to get the original purchase price.
Original purchase price = After tax price / (1 + tax rate)
Original purchase price = 6.83/1.06
Original purchase price = [B]$6.44[/B]

Varies jointly means there exists a constant k such that:

3 = 15 * 3 * k
3 = 45k
