Question

Three more than the quotient of sixteen and a number r.Five eights the difference of a number m and eleven.Sixty four less than the product of a number and ten.The necklace n costs $200 more than twice the price if the earrings e.

Answer 1

1) Three more than the quotient of sixteen and a number r

Quotient of sixteen and a number r is expressed as 16 / r

Three more than the quotient of 16 and r will be:

`3\text{ + }(16)/(r)`

2) Five eights the difference of a number m and eleven

Difference of a number m and eleven can be expressed as m -11

Five eights the difference of a number m and eleven will be:

`(5)/(8)(m-11)`

3) Sixty four less than the product of a number and ten.

Product of a number and ten

Let the number be m

Product of the number and ten = 10m

Sixty four less than the product of a number and ten will be:

10m - 64

4) The necklace n costs $200 more than twice the price if the earrings e.

Price of necklace = n

Price of earrings = e

Twice the price of the earrings = 2e

Necklace n costs $200 more than twice the price of the earrings e:

This can be expressed mathematically as:

n = 200 + 2eof th
