Let the original profits be $x. 5% increase in profits will give us:
105/100×x=$1.05x
3% reduction in new profits ill give us the latest amount to be:
97/100×1.05x
=$1.0185x
comparing our new profits to our original amount of $x we shall have new percentage increase to be:
(1.0185x-x)/x×100
=1.85% 
Thus our final increase  1.85%

Answer: (-20,-4)

First, you substitute y into the first equation to get 0.01x - 0.3(0.1x - 2) = 1

You then distribute the 0.3 to what is inside the parentheses to get 0.01x-0.03x+0.6=1
(Note: the 0.6 is positive because two negatives multiplied equal a positive)

Now you combine like terms to get -0.02x+0.6=1

Subtract 0.6 from both sides of the equal sign to get -0.02x=0.4

Divide each side by -0.02 to get x=-20

Now plug in -20 to y=0.1x-2 to get y=-4

This gives you the answer (-20,-4)

How can I solve this equation X-5=0.1(x+5)
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

X=6.1

Step-by-step explanation:

x-5=0.1(x+5)

x-5=0.1x+0.5 (distribute 0.1)

x=0.1x+0.5+5 (add 5 to each side)

x-0.1x=5.5 (subtract 0.1x from each side)

0.9x=5.5 (combine like terms)

x=5.5/0.9 (divide by 0.9 on both sides)

x=6.1 (simplify)
