This is a multi step problem. For this we do system of equations.

2.5x + 7y = 82.50
X+y = 24

To do the elimination method we have to make the y values equals to each other so we multiply the x+y=24 equation by 7

7x +7y = 168
-
2.5x + 7y = 82.50
———————————-
4.5x = 85.50
————————-
4.5. 4.5

X = 19

19 cats on Friday

A type of green paint is made by mixing 2 cups of yellow with 3.5 cups of blue.
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: Use 1.75 cups of blue and 1 cup of yellow

Step-by-step explanation:

The given problem can be placed in the category of ratios and proportions. There is a ratio of color mixing which contains the proportion of two colors i.e blue and yellow. When we use 2 cups of yellow with 3.5 cups of yellow then we get green color so if we mix half of their amounts then we can get less or simply half amount of color too. Hence adding 1 cup of yellow and 1.75 cup of blue will give us small amount in result.

Debbie found a suitcase that was originally 129 but now is on sale for 30% off. If sales tax is 8.75%, what is her final cost?
Marizza181 [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer we first multiply 129 by 0.7 since the price descresed 30 percent. each percent is equal to 0.01.

129 * 0.7 = 90.3

Then we multiply 90.3 by 1.0875 since that is the sales tax

90.3 * 1.0875 = 98.2

so the cost is 98.2
