A number is divided into two parts, such that one part is 10 more than the other. If the two parts are in the ratio 5:3 find the number and the two parts.

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the above information, we can make the first part to be;

First part = y + 10

Then,

Second part = y

y + 10 : y = 5 : 3

(y + 10) / y = (5) / (3)

Cross multiply,

3y + 30 = 5y

Collect like terms

5y - 3y = 30

2y = 30

y = 15

Therefore, substituting the value of y,

First part = y + 10

First part = 15 + 10

First part = 25

Second part = y

Second part = 15

Number = First part + Second part

Number = 25 + 15

Number = 40

(23*2)-12=x     x=34

step-by-step explanation:

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98
