The ratio of the number of laps Tonya swam last week to the number of laps Randy swam last week is 3:10. If Randy swam 84 MORE laps last week, how many did Tonya swim?

The number of laps Tonya swam last week were:

Step-by-step explanation:

To understand the ratio, you must know that 3:10 means that each time Tonya swam 3 laps, Randy swam 10 laps, by this reason, to identify the total number of laps you can divide the total difference given in the exercise (84 laps) into the difference indicated by the ratio (10 - 3 = 7 laps):

This number obtained is the number of times the ratio had to be met so that the difference in laps swam was 84. Now, you must multiply the obtained value (12) by the number of laps from Tonya given in the ratio (3):

As you can see, with the calculates, we obtained  36 laps in total. You could also do the iterations 12 times, subtracting the number of turns given by Tonya from the number of turns made by Randy and you would get the same result:

rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

step-by-step explanation:

to find amount of money rick has after 10 years :

principal = $1000 , time = 10 years , rate = 4% annually

to find amount of money sally has after 10 years :

her friend gives to pay her $50 per year, therefore money she has after 10 years = 50 × 10 = $500

also, sally gets $1000 after 10 years,

therefore, total amount of money sally has after 10 years = 500 + 1000 = $1500

so, after 10 years : rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
