If the sum of two whole numbers is 36 and one whole number is five times the other whole number, what are the two whole number? If it takes 4.05 ounces of milk to make a milkshake and you have 486 ounces of milk how many milkshakes can you make (assuming no waste or spillage)? XYZ Entertainment Warehouse normally sells Bass Home Theater speaker sets at $750 per set. The set is now on sale for 30% off. Find: a) the dollar amount of the discount (the price reduction); and then b) determine the sale price.

Explanation / Answer

1

Let the numbers be x and y

So, x+y=36

x=5y

So,

5y+y=36

Hence, y=6 and x=30

Two numbers are :6,30

2.

Number of milkshakes that can be made are:486/4.05=120

3.

a)

Discount =30% of 750=30*750/100=$225

b)

Sale price = Original price -Discount =750-225=525
