Answer:

20 lbs of 9%

10 lbs of 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

x: 9%

y: 15%

x + y = 30

y = 30 - x

0.09x + 0.15y = 0.11(30)

0.09x + 0.15(30 - x) = 3.3

-0.06x = -1.2

x = 20

y = 10

y = 30 - x

Question is in the picture
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

$9.00

Step-by-step explanation:

If the price is at 30% discount, this means it is 100-30 = 70% of the original price.

70 \%  \ of \ original \ price = \$ 6.30\\\\\ original \ price = 6.30 \div 70 \%\\\\= 6.30 \times \frac{100}{70}\\\\=\frac{630}{70}\\\\= 9

Hence, original price is $9.00.

IgorLugansk [536]
First you would have to find the distance it's going per hour.
600 \div 3
You will then get the answer of 200 m/hr. You can then plug in 200 m/hr to find how far the jet could fly in 10 hours
200 \times 10
You're final answer should be 2,000 miles
