X+y=18
5x+y=62
x is number of five dollar bills and y is one dollar bills.
<u>We are given the equation:</u>
(a + b)! = a! + b!
<u>Testing the given equation</u>
In order to test it, we will let: a = 2 and b = 3
So, we can rewrite the equation as:
(2+3)! = 2! + 3!
5! = 2! + 3!
<em>We know that (5! = 120) , (2! = 2) and (3! = 6):</em>
120 = 2 + 6
We can see that LHS ≠ RHS,
So, we can say that the given equation is incorrect
x = 1/120
i did not see the comment about the 1/5 until now
hope this helps
Answer:
$45.15
Step-by-step explanation:
When you are dealing with questions with percents in them—like this one—you have to turn the percent into a decimal. To make 7.5% into a decimal, you move the decimal point 2 spaces to the left. So, 7.5% is also 0.075.
Now, we have to use this formula for these types of questions:
x + x(y)= the price with tax (or markup)
So, we can substitute the variables.
42+42(0.075)=the retail price
42(0.075)=3.15
42+3.15=45.15
So, the retail price will be $45.15
