Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+8y=12 3x-8y=11
If we have to solve by substitution, Take the first equation and divide by 2
2x/2 + 8y/2 =12/2
x+4y = 6
Then subtract 4y from each side
x = 6 -4y
Then substitute this into the second equation
This is best solved by elimination
2x+8y=12
3x-8y=11
----------------
5x = 36
x = 36/5
Marked down 15% means the new price would be 85% of the original price ( 100%-15% - 85%)
Multiply the original price by 85%:
5250 x 0.85 = 4462.50
The new price is $4,462.50
You have to multiply by 1000
