You plan to buy $12,000 in computers at a local chain store. There are two stores located about the same distance from your offi

ce but in different cities with different tax rates. One city has a tax rate of 7% and the other has a tax rate of 8.5%. What percent can you save by going with the lower tax rate? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent, if necessary.

Lets calculate the taxes that would been payed at each city:
city1 = 12000(7%) = 12000(0.07) = 840
city2 = <span>12000(8.5%) = 12000(0.085) = 1020
So if you go to city1 instead of city2, you save 1020 - 840 = 180
So you would save $180 from $12000, that is:
 180 out of 12000
= 180/12000
= 0.015
and that is the 1.5%, that is what you could save</span>

<span>2y = 4x + 8  ------> y = 2x + 4
 4y = 4x + 20 ------> y = x+5

2x+4 =x+5
x = 1
y=x+5=1+5=6

Check:
</span>2*6 = 4*1 + 8 , 12 =12 
 4*6 = 4*1 + 20, 24 =24<span>

x=1,y=6
(1,6)
</span>
