Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let CP of one watch = x

CP of second watch = 500 - x

SP of first watch = (100-12)% of x = 88% of x=0.88x

SP of second watch = (100+8)% of (500 - x) = 108% of (500 - x)

                                  = 1.08*(500 - x) = 1.08*500 - 1.08*x

                                   = 540 - 1.08x

Sp of two watches = 500

0.88x + 540 - 1.08x = 500

-0.20x + 540 = 500

-0.20x = 500 - 540

-0.20x = -40

x = -40/-0.20 = 40*100/20 = 2*100 = 200

CP of first watch = 200

CP of second watch = 500 - 200 = 300

PLEASE HELP ASAP! i don't get it
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

0 - 20

1 -22

5 - 30

10 - 40

15 - 50

20 - 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial amount this equation is 20 so that is why at 0 shirts its still 20 dollars for the set up fee and 2 dollars per shirt. Now that we have this information we can actually make a linear equation

y = 2x + 20

y = the total cost

x = the number of shirts

All you have to do next is plug in the number of shirts to get the total cost

Example:   2(1) + 20 = y

2 + 20 = y

22 = y

Meaning for 1 shirt it would be 22 dollars in total
