Answer: 48

Define the number of cakes they baked in term of x
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let the number of cakes Kay baked be x
Kay = x
Tim = 3x ← Tim baked 3 times as many as Kay
Griff = 1.5x ← Griff baked 1/2 as many as Tim
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Construct the equation and solve for x
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The total number of cakes baked was 88.
x + 3x + 1.5x = 88 ← Combine like terms
5.5 x = 88 ← Divide by 5.5
÷5.5 ÷5.5
x = 16
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the number of cakes each baked
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kay = x = 16
TIm = 3x = 16 x 3 = 48
Griff = 1.5x = 1.5(16) = 24
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Tim baked 48 cakes.

First, I would subtract 150 from 870. You get 720. Then I would divide that equally among the four artists. 720/4=180. So each person's share is $180.

Answer:
-3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
First represent this with numbers. Less means subtraction -, times means multiplication *, is means equals =.
And let's represent "a number" with x.
63 - 15x = 72
Solve for x. First subtract 63 from both sides.
-15x = 72-63
-15x = 9
x = -9/15 = <u>-3/5</u>
Well, I'm not sure what units "0.5" apply to, but to find the distance he rode, you will need to multiply.
0.5 * 24 = 12.
Barry rode his scooter for a distance of 12 [insert units here].
Hope this helps! Have a great day :)
