13. A cafe offers senior citizens a 15% discount off its regular price of $8.95 for the dinner buffet.
1 answer:
a) 75 percent of the regular price is the price for senior citizens.
b) $6.712 is the price for senior citizens.
<u> </u><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
- The regular price is the 100% = $8.95
- The offer price for senior citizen = 15% discount from 100%
∴ Percent of the regular price for senior citizens = 100% - 15% = 75%
The price for the senior citizens = 75% of $8.95
⇒ (75/100)8.95
⇒ 0.758.95
⇒ 6.712 dollars.
∴ The price for senior citizens = $6.712

Try this solution:
let the unknown two-digits number be 'xy'.
Then it is possible to write any two-digit number as 10x+y, where x - the tens digit and y - the unit digit.
Using the rule described above the phrase 'the tens digit of a number is twice the units digit' may be written as x=2y.
Using the same rule the phrase 'if the digits are reversed, the new number is 36 is less than the original number' may be written as (10x+y)-(10y+x)=36.
These two equations may be resolved as system of two equations:
Check: the original number is 84, the new number is 48; difference is 84-48=36.
answer: 84
