The number is assumed to be x

x of 40% = 56
x * (40/100) = 56
x = 5600 / 40
x = 140

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-5y + 4 = -11 Get rid of the numbers to get y alone.

-5y +4 minus 4 = -11 minus 4 Here you are removing the 4 from the left

-5y = -15 Now you will have to get rid of the -5

-5y/(-5) = -15/(-5)

y = 3

Isaac downloaded 7 ringtones. Each polyphonic ringtone costs $3.25, and each standard ringtone costs $1.50. If he spends a total

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

$6\ polyphonic\ ringtones$ and $1\ standard\ ringtone$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of polyphonic ringtones

y ----> the number of standard ringtones

we know that

$x+y=7$

$x=7-y$ -----> equation A

$3.25x+1.50y=21$ -----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by substitution

Substitute equation A in equation B and solve for y

$3.25(7-y)+1.50y=21$

$22.75-3.25y+1.50y=21$

$3.25y-1.50y=22.75-21$

$1.75y=1.75$

$y=1\ standard\ ringtones$

Find the value of x

$x=7-1=6\ polyphonic\ ringtones$
