Answer:
There are 25 chickens and 20 rabbits
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x-----> the number of chickens
y ----> the number of rabbits
Remember that
1 chicken has two legs
1 rabbit has four legs
so
2x+4y=130 -------> equation A
x=y+5 -----> equation B
Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y
2(y+5)+4y=130
2y+10+4y=130
6y=120
y=20 rabbits
Find the value of x
x=y+5
x=20+5=25 chickens
PEMDAS
do parentheses first
4 x 10=40
40 x 10=400
The <em>correct answer</em> is:
He paid the correct amount.
Explanation:
First we find the subtotal of Manny's items:
32.65+3(14.89)+39.99 = 32.65+44.67+39.99 = 117.31
Next, we calculate the discount. If he gets 10% off, this means he pays 100%-10% = 90% of the total. 90% = 90/100 = 0.9:
0.9(117.31) = 105.579
Next we calculate the tax. Since tax is 8%, this means he pays 100% of his subtotal after discount plus the 8% tax; 100%+8% = 108%; 108% = 108/100 = 1.08:
1.08(105.579) = 114.02532 ≈ 114.03
Since this is what he paid, he paid the correct amount.
