PLEASE HELP ME. Logan has twice as many contacts in his phone as Marcus. Janet has 8 more then 1/3 of the number of contacts that Marcus has. Marcus has 243 contacts in his phone. How many more contacts does Logan have than Janet?

397

Step-by-step explanation:

write an equation:

x = logan

y = marcus

z = janet

x = 2y

z = 1/3y+8

y = 243

x = 2 * 243

x = 486

z = 1/3 * 243 + 8

z = 89

logan = 486 contacts

marcus = 243 contacts

janet = 89 contacts

486-89 = 387

logan has 397 more

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.

the answer is 21%.
