All together Maria and Nick had $12. After Maria spent 30% of her money and Nick spent 50 % of his money, Maria and Nick were left with the same amount. How much money did Nick have to begin with?

$4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of money

Maria had = x

Nick had = y

All together Maria and Nick had $12.

= x + y = 12

x = 12 - y

After Maria spent 30% of her money and Nick spent 50 % of his money, Maria and Nick were left with the same amount.

30% of x = 50% of y

30/100 × x = 50/100 × y

0.3x = 0.5y

We substitute 12 - y for x above

0.3(12 - y) = 0.5y

3.6 - 0.3y = 0.5y

3.6 = 0.5y + 0.3y

3.6 = 0.8y

y = 3.6/0.8

y = $4.5

Therefore, in the beginning, Nick originally had $4.5

answer:

total cost for tiles and paints is $924.  

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given that a community hall is in the shape of a cuboid. the hall is 40m long 15m high and 3m wide.

the paint will be required for 4 walls and ceiling.

let us find area of walls and ceiling.

therefore, the area of walls and ceiling is 1410 square meters.

given: cost for 10 litre of paint is $10 and 10 litre paint covers 25 square meter. therefore,

therefore, the total painting cost is $564.

tiles will be required for floor. let us find the area of floor.

given: 1m squared floor tiles costs $3. so,

therefore, the total tiles cost is $360.

now let us find combined total cost of tiles and paint.

therefore, the combined total cost of tiles and paint is $924.
