Answer 1

You'd lose the bet.

If you need help with your word problems, then post a problem and post SPECIFICALLY what your question is -- like...where are you stuck. Show what you've tried so others can see what you've been trying and help you correct it or tell you whether you've got the right idea or not. This is not a free service where people do your work for you. Although I'm sure some sucker will come along and do them just to get two points. Sad.

Answer 2

You're lucky I'm bored as hell and enjoy simple word problems, because your little "bet" is hardly motivating.
You should really be doing these yourself, but like I said - I kind of like doing them.

1.) John's coins = x
Mary's coins = 2x

2x + x = 105
3x = 105
x = 35
2x = 2(35) = 70

ANSWER: 70


2.) Team A = x
Team B = x + 18

x + x + 18 = 144
2x = 126
x = 63

ANSWER: 63pts


3.) 38 - 21 = 17
17/21 = 0.81 or 81%

ANSWER - Marked it up 81%


4.) 3/10 = 6/20
1/10 = 2/20
1/5 = 4/20

6/20+2/20+4/20 = 12/20 = 3/5

ANSWER: 3/5
