Max, Todd, and Sam each have $300 saved from their summer jobs. Each of them decides to donate a portion of their money to an orphanage. Max donates 35/100 of his money, Todd donates 3/8 of his money, and Sam donates 0.20 of his money. Order the friends from least to greatest in terms of the amount of money donated

let's call the solutions x₁ = (5 - 2√7)/3 and x₂ = (5 + 2√7)/3

then the equation is (x-x₁)(x-x₂) = 0

if you fill that in you get a lot of numbers which you can recognize as ax²+bx+c=0.

step-by-step explanation:

you can see that a=1 (there is just an x²)

b = (-5 -2√7 + 2√7 - 5)/3 = -10/3

c = -2√7)/3 ) * (-5+2√7)/3) = -1/3

so your answer is 3x^2 – 10x – 1 = 0

3/8

answer: the answer is 100 x 12,500, which is 1,250,000.

step-by-step explanation: emily solved for a part when she should have solved for the whole.  

875,000 should be the numerator of the equivalent ratio.  

70 x 12,500 is 875,000.
