Latoya, Brian, and Charlie sent a total of 124 text messages over their cell phones during the weekend. Charlie sent 4 times as many messages as Brian. Brian sent 8 more messages than Latoya. How many messages did they each send?

Brian: 22

Charlie: 88

Latoya: 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation where b represents the number of messages Brian sent:

4b will represent Charlie because he sent 4 times more texts than Brian did

(b - 8) represents Latoya because they sent 8 less texts than Brian:

b + 4b + (b - 8) = 124

Add like terms:

6b - 8 = 124

6b = 132

b = 22

Now, we can plug in 22 as b to find Charlie and Latoya's number of texts:

4b = 4(22) = 88

b - 8 = 22 - 8 = 14

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!

the answer would be 484

step-by-step explanation:

just multiply 0.484 times 1,000 (formula)
