6 people sharing 40 lbs of gold evenly. How many do they get? Then subtract 1 2/3 from the result of the problem above & simplify completely. Please help cause it's not accepting what I have

1. Each individual gets of gold

2. After subtracting by , the result is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Size of Gold = 40 lbs

Number of people = 6

Required

1. Proportion of each individual

2. Subtract from each proportion

1. Proportion of each individual

To calculate how many each individuals get (in other words, the proportion of each individual), we simply divide the total size of gold by the number of people

Mathematically,

Reduce fraction to lowest term by dividing numerator and denominator by 2

Convert to mixed fraction

Hence each individual gets of gold

2. Subtract from each proportion

This is represented by

Convert both fractions to improper fractions

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
