Answer:
2662.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent her old salary. Then we have ...
0.065s = 162.50
s = 162.50/0.065 = 2500
Then her new monthly salary is ...
new salary = old salary + raise
new salary = 2500 +162.50
new salary = 2662.50
To cube something means to take it by 3, when used in the sentance, 3 cubed it refers to 3^3 power which means 3*3*3 which equals 21. In this context I'm guessing that they mean 50^3 which would be $125,000.
Hope this helps!=)
Answer:
Number of ducks = 37
Number of pigs = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
x be the number of ducks
y be the number of pigs
According to given statement;
x+y=55 Eqn 1
2x+4y=146 Eqn 2 (As ducks will have 2 legs and pigs will have 4)
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 2
2(x+y=55)
2x+2y=110 Eqn 3
Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2
(2x+4y)-(2x+2y)=146-110
2x+4y-2x-2y=36
2y=36
Dividing both sides by 2

Putting y=18 in Eqn 1
x+18=55
x = 55-18
x = 37
Hence,
Number of ducks = 37
Number of pigs = 18
