The numbers are "x" and "y",
we suggest this system of equations.
x+y=24
x-y=15
solve by reduction method.
x+y=24
x-y=15
-----------------
2x=39 ⇒x=39/2=19.5
x+y=24
-(x-y=15)
-------------------
2y=9 ⇒y=9/2=4.5
The numbers are 19.5 and 4.5
To check
19.5+4.5=24
19.5-4.5=15
The answer would be 17 because 59 - 30 = 29 and 29 - 12 =17
Answer:
92% of Income is Rs 18400
Step-by-step explanation:
I = 18400/.92 = Rs 20000
We have been given that Sterre charges $35 to file tax returns, but files for free if she only needs the easiest form. Also, she donates $2 to clean water projects per tax return she files.
Further we know that Sterre charged $7,245 and made a donation of $1,242 this year for the tax returns she filed.
Let x be the number of free income tax returns and y be the number of $35 income tax returns.
Therefore, we can set up:

Since she donates $2 for each return that she files, therefore, we can set up:

Therefore,
Sterre filed 414 tax returns for free and filed 207 tax returns for $35.
