The share of Natasha is £ 42
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
£70 is divided between Natasha, Richard & Stephen
Total amount = 70
Let the share of natasha be "x"
Let the share of richard be "y"
Let the share of stephen be "z"
Natasha gets twice as much as Richard
x = 2y ------ eqn 1
Richard gets three times as much as Stephen
y = 3z
----- eqn 2
Total amount = 70
share of natasha + share of richard + share of stephen = 70
x + y + z = 70
Substitute eqn 1 and eqn 2
Substitute y = 21 in eqn 1
x = 2y = 2(21) = 42
x = 42
Thus natasha gets £ 42
Your answer is D you’re welcome!
Your mistake was in this part 9 x 1/100 . After the decimal point the place value starts with tenths so you should write 9 x 1/10 .
Place values
Before the decimal
point
3 ones = 3 x 1
0 tens = 0 x 10
1 hundreds = 1 x 100
After the decimal
point
9 tenths = 9 x 1/10
0 hundredths = 0 x 1/100
3 thousandths= 3 x 1/1000
1 x 100 + 0 x 10 + 3 x 1 + 9 x 1/10 + 0 x 1/100 + 3 x 1/1000
100 + 0 + 3 + 0.9 + 0 + 0.003
100 + 3 +
0.9 + 0.003 = 103.903

Answer: $400
Step-by-step explanation:
So first you set it up in a equation. You put the amount she put in the bank over x (the x represents her full salary) which equals the percent she already spent over her full salary. That would be 120/x=30/100 you would then cross-multiply to get 12,000 = 30x. you then divide 30 from both sides to get x =400.
