X= cals in pie\ny= Cals in ice cream\nequation 1 A slice of pie with a scoop of ice cream has 550 calories= x+y=550\nequation 2(The calories in the pie alone are 100 more than twice the calories in the ice cream alone x=2y+100\n\nx=550-y and x=2y+100\n550-y=2y+100\n-y-2y=100-550\n-3y=-450\ny=150\n\nSince y=150, then x=550-150, x=400\n\nSo, there are 400 cal in a slice of pie, and 150 cal in a scoop of ice cream\n\n2- There's a difference of 15mph between vehicles.  Which means that every hour, there will be an increment of distance of 15 miles.\nSo, 82.5 miles divided by 15 mph gives you 5.5 hours\n\nCheck it \nAfter hour 1 diff will be 15miles\nAfter hour 2 diff will be 30miles\nAfter hour 3 diff will be 45miles\nAfter hour 4 diff will be 60miles\nAfter hour 5 diff will be 75miles\nSince you're missing 7.5 hours, which is half of 15, then you need half an hour.\n\n5.5

ok so if you use fractions, the number of beans you start off with is x and if you multiply it by 3/3, you get 3x/3. so now, you ate 1/3 of them so you ate x/3 beans altogether, which means you have (3x-x)/3  = 2x/3 beans left over.\nso now you want to know how much your friend ate if only x/5 beans remain. so first you have to get a common denominator (15), so \n(2x/3 * 5/5) - sometin = (x/5 * 3/3)\n10x/15 - somethin = 3x/15. \nto find the somethin, you can do (10x-3x)/15 = 7x/15.\nso she ate 7/15 of the beans.

lets say there were fifteen beans to start.  george eats 5 of them.  there are ten left.  martha finds those 10 and ate until there were 3 left.  she ate 7 beans out of 10.\n\n7/10\n\nalgebraic method:\n\nx - total beans to start\n\n(2/3)x = amount left after george eats beans (remaining beans that martha finds)\n\n(1/5)x = amount left after martha eats beans\n\n\n(2/3)x - (some fraction of beans martha found) = (1/5)x\n\n(2/3)x - (1/5)x = (some fraction of beans martha found)\n\n(7/15)x = (fraction)(beans martha found)\n(7/15)x = (fraction)((2/3)x)\n(21/30) = fraction\n\n21/30 reduced is 7/10\n\n\n\n\nEdit: there are some wrong answers by other posters....remember that we are looking at what fraction of the beans that martha found, not out of the original number

1) If they shared the delivery equally, then they would each deliver p number of papers but Erin delivered 20 of Jennifer's, so \nGilbert = p\nErin = p + 20\nJennifer = p - 20\n\nTotal = p + (p + 20) + (p - 20) ---- (1)\n\nSince erin's delivery is 1/2 of the total papers, we have that \n\np + 20 = [p + (p + 20) + (p - 20)]/2 ----- (2)\n\nFrom (2) we have that \n2(p + 20) = p + (p + 20) + (p - 20)\n2p + 40 = p + p + 20 + p - 20\n\nCollect like terms\n40 + 20 - 20 = p + p + p - 2p\n40 = 3p - 2p\n40 = p\np = 40\n\nSo Gilbert delivered 40 papers\n\n\n2) Considering the last sentence - one-fourth of those remaining left, leaving only 12 people in the audience. Since 1/4 left leaving 12, it means that 12 is 3/4 of the audience\n\nIf 3/4 = 12\n4/4 = (4/4 X 12)/(3/4)\n= 4/4 X 12 X 4/3\n= 16\n\nRemember that 1/3 left remaining 16, so 16 was the 2/3 of the audience.\n\nIf 2/3 = 26\n3/3 = (3/3 X 16)/(2/3)\n= 3/3 X 16 X 3/2\n= 24 \n\nAlso, remember that this fugure was just 1/2 of the original audience\nIf 1/2 = 24\n2/2 = (2/2 X 24)/1/2\n= 2/2 X 24 X 2/1\n= 48 which is the total audience\n\nCheck ...... working backwards\nAt ther beginning, there were 48 people in the audience;\nAfter a few minutes, 1/2 left remaining 24\n\nFive minutes later 1/3 of the remaining people left;\n1/3 of 24 is 8, so if 8 left, we have 24 - 8 = 16 people left.\n\nTen minutes later 1/4 of the remaining people left;\n1/4 of 16 is 4, so if 4 left, we have 16 - 4 = 12 people left!
