Allan Has 360 Stamps. He Gave Some To Aaron And Gave 1/4 Of The Remainder To Riza. If Allan Has 225 Stamps Left, How Many Did He Give Aaron?

Allan has 360 stamps. He gave some to Aaron and gave 1/4 of the remainder to Riza. If Allan has 225 stamps left, how many did he give Aaron?

 

Answer:

Allan gave 60 stamps to Aaron.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent:

Allans stamps: 360

Stamps Allan gave to Aaron: x

Remainder or remaining stamps after Allan gave some to Aaron:  360-x

Stamps given to Riza ⇒ 1/4 of the remainder:  1/4(360-x)

Number of stamps left with Allan: 225

Equation:

Allans stamps - (stamps given to Aaron + stamps given to Riza) = stamps left with Allan

360 - x +  (1/4)(360-x) = 225

Find the x, the number of stamps Allan gave to Aaron:

360 - x + 90 - x/4 = 225

360 - x - 90 + x/4 = 225

360 - 90 - 225 = x - (x/4)

45 = x - (x/4)

(4) 45 = x - (x/4) (4)

180 = 4x - x

180 = 3x

3x/3 = 180/3

x = 60

Allan gave 60 stamps to Aaron.

Substitute, x=60:

Rizas stamps = (1/4) (360 - 60)

= (1/4) (300)

= 75 stamps

Check:

360 - (60 + 75) = 225

360 - 135 = 225

225 = 225   (True)

Write True If The Statement Is True. Otherwise, Modify The Underlined Word(S) To Make It True. 2. Every Polynomial Equation Of Degree N Has N 2013 1 R

Write TRUE if the statement is true. Otherwise, modify the underlined word(s) to make it true. 2. Every polynomial equation of degree n has n – 1 real roots.   Polynomial Equation:         "Every polynomial equation of degree n has n - 1 real roots." This statement is false and in order to make it a true statement it should be... "every polynomial equation of degree n has at most n real roots" which is a consequence of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra.     Definition:        A polynomial equation is any polynomial equated to zero . Examples: x - 2 = 0 x² + 2x + 5 = 0 5x + 1 = 0 x³  - 2x² - 4x + 8 = 0 x(x - 4) = 0 Explanation:   x - 2 = 0 the number of root(s) is just 1 since it is a polynomial of the first degree. x² + 2x + 5 = 0 the number of root(s) is 2 since it is a polynomial of the second degree. 5x + 1 = 0, there is only 1 root because it is a polynomial equation of the first degree. x³  - 2x² - 4x + 8 = 0 have 3 roots since its high...
