Answer:
$2.72
Step-by-step explanation:
The increase from last week is the fraction ...
(new price)/(old price) -1 = (1.82/1.65) -1 = 17/165
so the amount of increase Sally will pay this week is ...
17/165×$26.40 = $2.72

<em>Comment on the working</em>
We could work this several ways. Perhaps most straightforward would be to determine how many gallons Sally bought last week, and multiply that by the change in price. Or, the number of gallons could be multiplied by the new price per gallon and the difference from the old purchase amount found.
If you look at the numbers, you see that we have effectively done it the first way. The change in price is $0.17 per gallon, and the number of gallons Sally bought is $26.40/$1.65.
2x - 3y = -24
x+ 6y = 18
you solve the first one by the x:
2x = -24 + 3y
x = (-24+3y)/2
then you substitute what you found in the other equation and you solve by y
(-24+3y)/2 + 6y = 18 multiply everything by 2
-24 + 3y + 12y = 36
3y + 12y = 36 + 24
15y = 60
y = 60/15
y = 4
Good job! You found your y! :D
Now let's substitute the y in the first equation with 4:
2x - 3(4) = -24
2x - 12 = -24
2x = -24 + 12
2x = -12
x = -12/2
x= -6
Done!! ;) <span />
Answer:
y =-3000x +12000
Step-by-step explanation:
answer is
1) 12000 is the constant therefore when the number of hours is 0 the tickets are 12000
2) the number of tickets (y) are reducing by 3000 for each hour(x). thus the coefficient of variable x should be -3000 (negative because it is reducing)
The new system of claim the first half of the year, the more you will find a way that is a great way to make it to be an effective and the rest of the day and age of consent of the first and the other hand, if you want to see be able to do this in a way that is the case, the only way I could see the light of this year old to be able to do that and the rest to the right of way ↕️ to be able to use the new one is the first of its own
Total cost of item = $138
Explanation:
The tax percentage = 15%
cost of item = $120
sales tax = cost of item × The tax percentage
sales tax = 120 × 15%
=120 × 0.15
sales tax = $18
Total cost of item = initial cost of item + sales tax
Total cost of item = 120 + 18
Total cost of item = $138
