Answer: the school paid $80 for the book.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount that the school paid for the book.
Her school charges a lost book fee equal to 75% of the cost of the book. It means that the amount that the school would charge on a book that cost $x is
75/100 × x = 0.75 × x = 0.75x
Sarah received a notice stating that she owed the school $60 for he lost book. It means that
0.75x = 60
x = 60/0.75
x = $80
Answer:
14 is C I believe............
Start by solving one equation for x or y, this time I'm choosing x. 2x = 4 - 2y, then x = 2 - y. Now substitute in x in the other equation. 4(2-y) - 3y = 15. This simplifies to 8 - 4y - 3y = 15. This simplifies to -7y = 7. Divide both sides by -7, and y = -1. Now plug the y value into the other equation: 2x + 2(-1) = 4. This simplifies to 2x = 6, and x = 3.
X = 3, Y = -1 or (3,-1)
