Andy is 32, and Brett is 12. You gotta set up an equation.
a+b=44
a=2b+8
2b+8+b=44
b=12
a=32

Question

Tony is making small bags of bird seed from a larger bag of bird seed that wieghs 11.6 pounds if he puts the same amount in each of 6 bags how much will each bag wiegh?

Solution 1

For this case we have the following division:
Weight each bag = Total weight / number of bags
Substituting values we have:
Weight each bag = (11.6) / (6)
Weight each bag = 1.933333333 pounds
Answer:
each bag will wiegh about:
1.933333333 pounds

Question

Heather and Joel bought a house for $157,200 and know that the house appreciates every year. They keep track of their house value for 5 years and model their data with the exponential equation

Solution 1

Given that they want to estimate the cost of the house after 8 years, the best equation will be obtained as follows:
FV=P(1+r)^n
where:
n=time
p=principle
r=rate
First we need to estimate the rate. The value of the house after 5 years is $ 190,000
thus plugging the values in the equation and solving for r we get:
190000=157200(1+r)^5
1.20865=(1+r)^5
getting the fifth root of both sides we obtain:
1.0386=1+r
thus
r=0.0386~3.86%
thus the value of the house after 8 years will be:
FV=157200(1.0386)^8
FV=$212,879.6936

Solution 1

If 1 box weighs 7.5 pounds, then we find the weight for 15 boxes with this equation:
15*7.5
Multiply:
112.5
15 boxes weight 112.5 pounds

Question

A restaurant uses 290 pounds of onions every 2 and a half weeks. If they continue to use onions at the same rate, how many pounds of onions will they use in 6 weeks?

Solution 1

290/2.5 = 116 pounds per week

116 * 6 = 696 pounds

Solution 2

To find the rate of one week, we divide the amount of onions used with every week:
290/2.5 = 116
Now that we have a single rate, we find the amount for 6 weeks:
116*6 = 696
696 pounds are used in 6 weeks

Question

Julius is buying beverages for brunch he needs to buy a total of 5 gallons of beverages he decides to buy two containers of each of the following beverages 2 pints of milk 2 quarts of orange juice 16 cups of milk 32 oz of lemonade . how many gallons of beverages did he buy

Solution 1

This will be calculated as follows:
1 pint=0.125 gallons
1 quart=0.25 gallons
1 cup = 0.0625 gallons
1 oz = 0.0078125 gallons
thus amount of :
milk bought
0.125*2=0.25 gallons

orange juice bought:
0.25*2=0.5 gallons

milk bought:
16*0.0625=1 gallon

lemonade bought:
32*0.0078125=0.25 gallons

Thus total gallons made was:
0.25+1+0.5+0.25
=2 gallons

Solution 2

The amount of beverages did he buy will be 2 gallons.

What is conversion?

Conversion means to convert the same thing into different units.

Julius is buying beverages for brunch he needs to buy a total of 5 gallons of beverages he decides to buy two containers of each of the following beverages 2 pints of milk, 2 quarts of orange juice, 16 cups of milk, and 32 oz of lemonade.

We know the conversion

1 pint = 0.125 gallons

1 quart = 0.25 gallons

1 cup = 0.0625 gallons

1 oz = 0.0078125 gallons

Then the amount of beverages did he buy will be

Milk bought

0.125 x 2 = 0.25 gallons

Orange juice bought:

0.25 x 2 = 0.5 gallons

Milk bought:

16 x 0.0625 = 1 gallon

Lemonade bought:

32 x 0.0078125 = 0.25 gallons

Thus total gallons made will be

→ 0.25 + 1 + 0.5 + 0.25

→ 2 gallons

Question

Heather and Joel bought a house for $157,200 and know that the house appreciates every year. They keep track of their house value for 5 years and model their data with the exponential equation y = 150000(1.004)12t How much will their house be worth in 8 years?

Solution 1

Heather and Joel bought a house for $157,200 and know that the house appreciates every year. They keep track of their house value for 5 years and model their data with the exponential equation y = 150000(1.004)12t How much will their house be worth in 8 years?

Solution:

Equation of the appreciation of the value of house is given by:-

$y=150000(1.004)^{12t}$

We need to find the worth of the house after 8 years

So, that means time, t=8

Let us plug t=8 in the equation $y=150000(1.004)^{12t}$

So, we get,

$y=150000(1.004)^{12*(8)}$

$y=150000(1.004)^{96}$

$y=150000(1.467021)$

y=150000*1.467021

y=220053.20

In 8 years the value appreciates to $220053.20, that s, worth of house after 8 years=$22005320

Solution 2

We have to find value of the house in 8 years so we will plug t=8 years in given equation.

$y=150000(1.004)^{\left(12t\right)}$

$y=150000(1.004)^{\left(12*8\right)}$

$y=150000(1.004)^{96}$

$y=150000(1.46702133432)$

$y=220053.200148$

Hence house will worth approx $220053.20 in 8 years.
