I think this is a proportion problem. Since the 1st question focuses on A and B, the proprtion will be:

$${\frac{{\mathtt{A}}}{{\mathtt{B}}}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{A}}}{{\mathtt{B}}}}$$

The ratio from A to B is 3: 7... and $5096 was given to A... sooo....

$${\frac{{\mathtt{A}}}{{\mathtt{B}}}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{A}}}{{\mathtt{B}}}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{3}}}{{\mathtt{7}}}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{A}}}{{\mathtt{5\,096}}}}$$

To find A, you would cross multiply... 7 • A = 7a and 5096 • 3 = 15288... soo...

$${\mathtt{7}}{A} = {\mathtt{15\,288}}$$

Then you would divide both sides by 7...

$${\mathtt{A}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{15\,288}}}{{\mathtt{7}}}}$$

$${\mathtt{A}} = {\mathtt{2\,184}}$$

Therefore, the answer to (a) is $2,184.

i'll say! ur pretty  smart guy!

im 15 and a sophmore. 1 credit away from being a junior. Next semester I am going to go to a college to take an AP class!!! Hooray!
