Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's solve each question one by one:
Question 10:
The problem states:
- Dina has of Wulan's money.
- Ida has of Dina's money.
- The total of Wulan and Ida's money is Rp57,000.
We need to find the total amount of money of Wulan, Dina, and Ida.
Let:
- W = Wulan's money.
- D = Dina's money.
- I = Ida's money.
From the given ratios:
- (Dina's money is of Wulan's).
- .
We know that: Substitute into the equation: Multiply both sides by 10: Now divide by 19: So, Wulan's money is Rp30,000.
Now, we calculate Dina's and Ida's money:
The total amount of money is:
So, the correct answer is b. Rp106,000.00.
Question 11:
The ratio of Alan's and Sekar's money is 8:5. Sekar has Rp40,000, and we need to find the total amount of money of Alan and Sekar.
Let:
- A = Alan's money.
- S = Sekar's money = Rp40,000.
Given the ratio: Substitute : Multiply both sides by 40,000:
The total amount of money is:
So, the correct answer is c. Rp104,000.00.
Question 12:
The difference between the number of employees in Office A and Office B is 54. The ratio of the number of employees in Office A to B is 4:7. We need to find the total number of employees in both offices.
Let:
- = the number of employees in Office A.
- = the number of employees in Office B.
From the ratio: So, .
The difference between the number of employees is 54: Substitute into the equation: Multiply both sides by 7: Now divide by 3:
Substitute into :
The total number of employees is:
So, the correct answer is b. 198 employees.
