Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 5y = 50
x + 5y = 31
use substitution
x = 31-5y
3(31-5y) +5y = 50
93 -15y + 5y = 50
93 - 10y = 50
--10y = -43
y = 43/10 = $4.30 for kids
now solve for x
x + 5(4.30) = 31
x + 21.5 = 31
x = $9.5 for adults
Amount charged for downloading individual songs = x dollars
Amount charged for downloading an entire album = y dollars
In respect to person A:
6x + 2y = 25.92
3x + y = 12.96
y = 12.96 - 3x
In respect to person B:
4x + 3y = 33.93
Putting the value of y from the first equation in the second, we get
4x + 3(12.96 - 3x) = 33.93
4x + 38.88 - 9x = 33.93
- 5x = - 4.95
x = 0.99 dollars
Putting the value of x in the first equation, we get
y = 12.96 - 3x
= 12.96 - 2.97
= 9.99 dollars
Answer:
40.2%
Step-by-step explanation:
(New-old)/old
(3750.25-2675.25)/2675.25=0.4018
0.4018×100= 40.2%
