Ms. Mary spent $192 less than Ms.Mona on supplies for their class. Together they spent a total of $988. How much did each person spend?
Answer:
Ms. Mona and Ms. Mary spent $590 and $398 respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total spent= $988
Ms. Mary +Ms. Mona= $988
Since Ms. Mary spent $192 less than Ms. Mona,
(Ms. Mona -$192) +Ms. Mona= $988
2(Ms. Mona)= $988 +$192
2(Ms. Mona)= $1180
Amount Ms. Mona spent
= $1180 รท2
= $590
Since Ms. Mary spent $192 less than Ms. Mona,
amount Ms. Mary spent
= $590 -$192
= $398
Alternatively, since the total spending is $988,
amount Ms. Mona spent
= $988 -$590
= $398
A rectangular photograph has an area of 48 square inches. If the width of the photograph is 8 inches less than its height, find the dimensions of the photograph
The height of the photograph is
Answer:
H= 12, W=4
Step-by-step explanation:
let H = height
let H-8 = width
We know that the area of the rectangle is A = H*W
now we substitute the statements we have made:
H(H-8) = 48
H^2 - 8H - 48 = 0
Simplify:
(H-12)(H+4) = 0
So now we have 2 options H = -4 or H = 12, having a -ve number as height does not make sense so we use 12.
We know that width is H-8 so now we do 12-8 which is 4.
Therefore width is 4 and height is 12.
