I have to express the total value of the three prizes as an algebraic expression Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! LET X=FIRST PRIZE.
LET 5X/6=SECOND PRIZE.
LET (4/5)(5X/6)=THIRD PRIZE.
X+5X/6+20X/30
(30X+25X+20X)/30
75X/30
15X/6
2.5X=TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE 3 PRIZES.
