What kind of Question is that. That is some real math right there.
He charges 4.75 per lb....
so 5 lbs would cost (5 * 4.75) = $ 23.75 <==
75% I think.
because if you do 560 - 420 you get 140.
140 / 560 x 100 = 25
which means there is a 25% decrease, so they took 75%.
After 2 hours time , both Abe and Gabe to cost the same amount .
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Here we have , a car needs fixing and Abe can fix it for $70 per hour with a $60 part, but Gabe can fix it for $80 an hour with a $40 part. We need to find How long will it take for both Abe and Gabe to cost the same amount .Let's find out:
Let the time for which both Abe and Gabe to cost the same amount be x hours, so according to question scenario we will have equation as :
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
Therefore , After 2 hours time , both Abe and Gabe to cost the same amount .
