Answer:
x = 7/2 y = 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
You can either use the elimiation or adding and subtracting method to get the variables for both x & y.
Once you solved for one variable, plug in the variable you just solved back into the original equation to find the other variable.
Since the discount is 20%, we know that $24 is 80% or 4/5 of the original price of the shoes. Divide the $24 by 20%, and you get $6. Add that to $24, and you get the original shoe price: $30. You can verify by Multiply 30 by 80%, which comes out to the discount price-$24.
78÷ 6 1/2 =
78 ÷ 13/2 =
78 × 2/13 =
156/13 = 12
