The answer would be 15 +20x. You have to combine like terms.
2+6+7+20x
8+7+20x
= 15+ 20x (answer)
Step-by-step explanation:
CP of all his books = $200
profit = 10%
SP = CP ( 100 + gain% / 100 )
after inserting the values we got,
→ 200 ( 110/100 )
→ 2 × 110
→ 220
therefore, Selling Price of all the books are $220.
hope this answer helps you dear...take care! and may u have a great day ahead!
As the equation does not consists like terms we can only get x , y equations.
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, they are not like terms.
If the value to be is found is X then,
8x+5y=4
Now subtract 5y on both sides
8x+5y-5y=4-5y
here both positive 5y and negative 5y get cancelled
Now divide by 8
x=(4-5y)/8
If we need y value then,
subtracting both sides by 8x
5y=4-8x
Now dividing with 5 on both sides
y=(4-8x)/5 =>y=4/5 -8x/5
According to Y=mx+c
slope = m = 4/5
y-intercept = -8x/5.
So basically you want to find the total percentage of cakes that weren't sponge cakes first.
You already have the 50% of party cakes. For the 1/5 percent of fruit cakes, you can multiply it by 20/20, to get 20/100, and then just take the 20 to get 20% that were fruit cakes.
Now you can just add the percentages together.
50% + 20% = 70%
So now you know 70% weren't sponge cakes, out of 100%.
So here you can just subtract 70% from 100% to figure out the remaining part of 100%, which must be sponge cakes.
100% - 70% = 30%
So 30% of the cakes were sponge cakes.
