Let's solve the world's math problems! Five students earned a
prize of 720.00. Peter stayed with twice what did each one of
the other four, who received equal amounts. How much Peter has?
- Click and drag over the problem to make highlights. - Type the
next step in the solution to this problem. - Keep the math
beautiful by using [[ and ]] around spans of math. - Don't do
x^2. Instead do [[x^2]] to get x2, etc. Step 1: let p=peter's
amount and f=the amount of each other of the four students Step
2: peter earned twice that of the other students, so p=2f Step
3: the student all earned 720 together, so p+4f=720 Step 4: but
p=2f, so 2f+4f=720 or 6f=720 Step 5: $so, f=120$..this means
each student received 120 and peter received 240 (twice 120)
Next step? Make a sketch I know how to do a lot of math, maybe I
can help:
