Kate and Nora each have a sum of money. The ratio of the amount of money Kate has to that of Nora is 3 : 5. After Nora gives $150 to Kate, the ratio of the amount of money Kate has to that of Nora becomes 7 : 9. Find the sum of money Kate had initially.

Given:

The ratio of the amount of money Kate has to that of Nora is 3 : 5.

After Nora gives $150 to Kate, the ratio of the amount of money Kate has to that of Nora becomes 7 : 9.

To find:

The sum of money Kate had initially.

Solution:

Let the initial amount of money Kate and Nora have are 3x and 5x respectively.

After Nora gives $150 to Kate, the ratio of the amount of money Kate has to that of Nora becomes 7 : 9.

The amount of Kate = 3x+150

The amount of Nora = 5x-150

Now,

Divide both sides by 8.

Putting x=300 in 3x, to get the amount of money Kate has initially.

Therefore, the Kate initially had $900.

step-by-step explanation:

7.   there are 10 data points in the set.   the middle point is between 5 and 6.   the middle point in the top half is 8   and the middle point in the bottom half is 3. to find the iqr , take point 8 and subtract point 3

mid term   point 8 = 100   point 3 = 88

iqr = 100-88 = 12

final   point 8 = 93   point 3 = 78

iqr = 93 - 78 = 15

the final has the greatest iqr

6.   b - there is a high data value that causes the data set to be asymmetrical for the males: the data for males are high and asymmetrical .   there is an outlier for the males that skews the data

5.   the   iqr is a better measure of spread for the movies and basketball games.   since the basketball game has an outlier, we do not want to use standard deviation for measurement.  

3.   the exam median is much higher than the class median.   the median line is farther to the right on the exams

2.   there is no way to tell what the means are from the box and whisker plots.
