Powered by AIEagan bought 10 pounds of peanuts. Let x be the pounds of raisins, then the peanuts were 2x pounds. The equation is 0.99x + 1.29(2x) = 24.99, solving gives x = 5 pounds of raisins. Thus, peanuts are 2x = 10 pounds .
The integers are 61 and 63. Let the first integer be x, then the next consecutive odd integer is x + 2. Their sum is 124, therefore: x + (x + 2) = 124, which simplifies to 2x + 2 = 124. Solving gives x = 61. Therefore, the integers are 61 and 63 .
Darian is 18 years old. If Daian's dad is 28 years older, then we set up the equation: Dad's age = Darian's age + 28. The sum of their ages is 64: Darian's age + (Darian's age + 28) = 64. Solving gives: 2 x Darian's age = 36, so Darian's age = 18 .
Ida and Ron need to prepare a total of 108 pastries. They have an order for two trays of glazed doughnuts and one tray of cinnamon rolls. Each tray contains 3 dozen items. Therefore, the total number of pastries is 3 trays x 36 items per tray = 108 pastries .
Currently, Mrs. Gampp is 38 years old and Brittany is 14 years old. Let Brittany's current age be B. Then, Mrs. Gampp's current age is B + 24. In three years, their ages sum to 68: (B + 3) + (B + 24 + 3) = 68. Solving gives B = 14, so Mrs. Gampp is 38 .
The number is 118. When you subtract 89 from 118, the result is 29. The equation is x - 89 = 29, which simplifies to x = 29 + 89 = 118 .
Julie needs to score 92% on her fifth test. The average of 5 scores should be 85%. Thus, 85% x 5 = 425 total points. She has already scored 78 + 98 + 67 + 90 = 333. Thus, she needs 425 - 333 = 92 on her fifth test .
Reba ordered 4 adult tickets and 20 student tickets. Let a be the number of adult tickets, then student tickets are 5a. With ticket prices of $10.50 for adults and $7.50 for students, the equation is 10.50a + 7.50(5a) = 192. Solving gives a = 4, and student tickets = 5a = 20 .
Maria's offer is 80% of the dealer's asking price. The percentage is calculated by dividing Maria's offer by the dealer's price and then multiplying by 100: (7800 / 9750) x 100 = 80% .
The original price was $428. Let the original price be P. Half of this price plus $60 is the price paid by Don: (P/2) + 60 = 274. Solving gives P/2 = 214, thus, P = 428 .
