Llamemos x euros a la cantidad de dinero con la que empezaste. Después de gastar un cuarto, te quedan 3x/4 euros. Luego, recibes el doble del dinero que te quedaba, que es 2*(3x/4) = 3x/2 euros. La cantidad total que tienes ahora es 3x/4 (dinero restante) + 3x/2 (dinero recibido) = 9x/4 euros. Como son 30 euros más de lo que empezaste, podemos escribir la ecuación: 9x/4 = x + 30 Resolviendo para x: Multiplica ambos lados por 4 para deshacerte de la fracción: 9x = 4x + 120 Resta 4x de ambos lados para aislar x: 5x = 120 Divide ambos lados por 5 para encontrar x: x = 24 Por lo tanto, originalmente tenías 24 €.

there are 500,000 bacteria at the end of a pin point. 1000 bacteria can make a person sick. then bacteria at the tip of a pin point can make 500 people sick. Also, many people do not know that bacteria can (reproduce). Let's say there are 5 bacteria and we leave it for 15 minutes. bacteria will multiply to 10. if left for up to 30 minutes, 20 bacteria will form. if left up to 45 minutes. bacteria will multiply up to 40. every 15 minutes the bacteria will double 2. if you start with five bacteria that reproduce every 15 minutes, how manu bacteria would you have after 12 hours ?
