Decrease of 25% means only 855 people? Okay, so you want to backtrack. If you divide by 25% you’re going to get what it was for a 75% decrease. So divide by .75 instead. 855/.75 = 1140 unemployed residents last month

Carl bought 24 daisies and roses. Daisies cost $0.25 each and roses cost $0.90 each. If
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Roses= $8.4

Daises= $15.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let represent the daises and let r represent d roses

r + d= 24....equation 1

0.25r + 0.90d= 16.40.......equation 2

r= 25-d

Substitute 25-d for r in equation 2

0.25(25-d) + 0.90d= 16.40

6.25-0.25d+0.90d= 16.40

6.25+0.65d= 16.40

0.65d= 16.40-6.25

0.65d= 10.15

d= 10.15/0.65

d = 15.6

Sub 15.6 for d in equation 1

r+d= 24

r+15.6= 24

r= 24-15.6

= 8.4

Price of daises is $15.6

Roses is $8.4
