Laura, Scott, and Joe served a total of 104 orders Monday at the school cafeteria. Joe served 3
times as many orders as Scott. Laura served 9
more orders than Scott. How many orders did they each serve?

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the number of orders Scott served. Then we have Joe served 3s, and Laura served (s+9). The total of orders served is ...

  3s +s +(s +9) = 104

  5s = 95 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 9 and collect terms

  s = 19 . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

  3s = 3×19 = 57

  s+9 = 19+9 = 28

Joe served 57 orders, Scott served 19, and Laura served 28 orders.

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet
