Josie spent 4/7 of ten money in her purse on some books, and the rest of the money on 18 markers. each marker cost $1.20. how much money was in josie's purse to begin with

Let's assume money in Josie's purse to begin with as 'x'

There are 18 markers

Each marker cost $1.20

so, we can find total cost of markers

Total cost of markers = ( total number of markers)*(price of each marker)

so, we can plug value

Total cost of markers is

$

now, we are given

Josie spent 4/7 of the money in her purse on some books

the rest of the money on 18 markers

so, rest money is

and this rest money is total cost of markers

so, we can set them equal and then we can solve for x

So, total money in Josie's purse in beginning is $50.4..........Answer

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
