Answer:
Megan will have to pay $2, 260 for surgery.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Translate percent into decimal:
90% -> 0.9
2. Multiply (to find out how much the insurance company pays):
(0.9)(14, 600) = 13, 140
3. Subtract:
14, 600 - 13, 140 = 1, 460
4. Add (to find out how much Megan pays):
1, 460 + 800 = 2, 260
X = first venture, y = second venture, z = third venture
x + y + z = 15,000
x + z = y + 7000
3x + 2y + 2z = 39,000
these are ur equations.....
x + y + z = 15,000
x - y + z = 7000
--------------------add
2x + 2z = 22,000
x + y + z = 15,000....multiply by -2
3x + 2y + 2z = 39,000
-------------------
-2x - 2y - 2z = - 30,000 (result of multiplying by -2)
3x + 2y + 2z = 39,000
------------------add
x = 9,000
2x + 2z = 22,000
2(9000) + 2z = 22000
18,000 + 2z = 22000
2z = 22000 - 18000
2z = 4000
z = 4000/2
z = 2,000
x + y + z = 15,000
9000 + y + 2000 = 15,000
11,000 + y = 15,000
y = 15,000 - 11,000
y = 4,000
first venture (x) = 9,000 <==
second venture (y) = 4,000 <==
third venture (z) = 2,000 <==
He was wrong because, although three is greater than five, the value of the three is in the ten thousands place, while the five is in the thousands place. Therefore, the correct answer would be that 36594 is greater than 5980.
Use desmos graphing calculator and put that in and you should get the answer sorry i didn’t answer the question but just thought i should let you know how to solve questions like this !!
