This is exactly like the one with the 'n's that you posted yesterday.
I guess you didn't get enough help on that one to understand it.
<span><u>7k/8 - 3/4 - 5k/16 = 3/8</u>
3/4 is the same as 6/8.
Add it to each side of the equation:
7k/8 - 5k/16 = 9/8
Multiply each side by 16 :
14k - 5k = 18
Add up the 'k's on the left side:
9k = 18
From this point, you can proceed directly to the numerical value of 'k'
if you need it.<u />
In your question, you said you need help, and I showed you how to
strip the problem down so that the only thing left is ' k = something '.
Giving you the answer is no help. Nobody actually needs the answer.

To find how much lemonade the pitcher can hold, you will add the amounts that he drank and remained to get a total. This total would be the starting amount.
8 oz + 8 oz + 24 oz = 40 ounces
The pitcher originally held 40 ounces of lemonade.
Initial cost of the jet ski = $925
Percentage of depreciation per year = 15%
Number of years after which the cost of the jetski has to be determined = 7
Then
Depreciated Value = Initial cost( 1 - percentage of depreciation) ^number of years
= 925( 1 - 15%)^7
= 925( 1 - 15/100)^7
= 925(1 - 0.15)^7
= 925(0.85)^7
= 925 *(0.85)^7
= 925 * 0.3206
= 296.53 dollars
So the depreciated cost of the jet ski after 7 years will be $296.53
