If the one for $175 is 10% off, that means Fiana pays 90% of the price
175 * 0.9 = $157.50
It is too expensive because 157.50 is more than the 150 Fiana has.
The second bike for $225 is 35% off which means Fiana pays 65% of the price.
225 * 0.65 = $146.25
She CAN afford the bike for $225
Answer:
x=-6-3y/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
Use part/whole proportions. 10/25 (15 + 10) = 12/x. Multiply 12 times 25 (300) = 10x (10 times x). 300 = 10x, isolate x by dividing both sides by 10 and you get 30 = x.
Answer:
a) The system that models the situation is:
p + 0.2m = 3
p + m = 5
b) The solution of the system is:
m = 2.5
p = 2.5
Step-by-step explanat:
It is desired to obtain 5 pounds of a mixture containing 40% peanuts and 60% almonds.
It has a mixture of 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.
p: number of pounds of peanuts
m = amount of mixture
The equation that represents the amount of peanut and mixture that is needed is:
p + m = 5 pounds
m = 5-p (i)
The amount of peanut in total that the mixture should have is:
p + 0.2m = 0.6 (5)
p + 0.2m = 3 (ii)
a) The system that models the situation is:
p + 0.2m = 3
p + m = 5
Now we substitute (i) in (ii) and clear p.
p + 0.2 (5-p) = 3
p-0.2p = 2
p = 2.5 pounds
Now we find m
m = 5 - 2.5
m = 2.5 pounds
b) The solution of the system is:
m = 2.5
p = 2.5
