Answer:
<em>The man paid $200 for the cow</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>System of Equations</u>
Let's call:
x = price of the cow
y = price of the horse
The man bought the cow and the horse for $500, thus
x + y = 500 [1]
The cow was sold at a profit of 10%, thus:
Sale price of the cow= 1.1x
The horse was sold at a loss of 10%, thus:
Sale price of the horse= 0.9y
The total operation was a 2% loss, i.e. 0.98*500=490. Thus, we have:
1.1x + 0.9y = 490 [2]
From [1]:
y = 500 - x
Substituting in [2]:
1.1x + 0.9(500 - x) = 490
Operating:
1.1x + 450 - 0.9x = 490
0.2x = 490 - 450 = 40
x = 40/0.2
x = 200
The man paid $200 for the cow
Okay 39 is 150% of what number? so like remember whenever you see percent you have to divide by 100
so let's start
First. we have 150% so let's divide 150%/100=1.5
Second. you will multiply 1.5*39= 26%
and you can also do it like easy way.
39/150=0.26
0.26/100=26
39 is 26% of 150
hope i help :p
