At a restaurant, Brandy paid twice as much as Katie, and Katie paid $3 more than Stephanie. If the total combined amount they paid was $56, how much did Katie pay?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Let x = the amount that Katie spent
Katie: x dollars
Stephanie: x-3 dollars
Brandy: 2x dollars

Together they spent $56, so the sum of these numbers should equal $56
x + (x-3) + 2x = 56
x + x + 2x - 3 = 56
4x = 59
x= 14.75
Katie spent $14.75

The zigzag line in the circuit diagram represents C) an electrical resistor.

the zig zags are resistors, the thing on the left is the symbol for a battery. Sometimes a single cell (1.5V); you'd draw a few more plates to show a higher voltage battery. But a DC supply, anyway. The long line is supposed to be the positive terminal.
