Solution

Sure, let's solve these problems one by one.

  1. Let's denote the cost of the helmet as H. Therefore, the cost of the bicycle is 5H. The equation representing the scenario is H + 5H = 240. Solving this equation gives H = 240 / 6 = 40. Therefore, the helmet costs 40 dollars and the bicycle costs 240 - 40 = 200 dollars.

  2. Let's denote the capital provided by Jamal as J. Therefore, the capital provided by Moshe is 2J. The equation representing the scenario is J + 2J = 7500. Solving this equation gives J = 7500 / 3 = 2500. Therefore, Jamal provided 2500 dollars and Moshe provided 7500 - 2500 = 5000 dollars.

  3. Let's denote the sale price as S. Therefore, the original price was S + 0.25S = S + 6. Solving this equation gives S = 6 / 0.25 = 24. Therefore, the sale price is 24 dollars.

  4. Let's denote the length of the shorter piece as L. Therefore, the length of the longer piece is L + 2. The equation representing the scenario is L + (L + 2) = 30. Solving this equation gives L = 30 / 2 = 14. Therefore, the shorter piece is 14 feet long and the longer piece is 30 - 14 = 16 feet long.

  5. Let's denote the length of the shortest piece as P. Therefore, the length of the second piece is 4P and the length of the longest piece is P + 4. The equation representing the scenario is P + 4P + (P + 4) = 10. Solving this equation gives P = 10 / 6 = 1.67. Therefore, the shortest piece is 1.67 feet long, the second piece is 1.67 * 4 = 6.68 feet long, and the longest piece is 10 - 1.67 - 6.68 = 1.65 feet long.
