Answer: 862
Step-by-step explanation:
A deductible refers to the amount of money that one will have to pay himself or herself toward an insured loss.
It should be noted that when a disaster occurs, the amount of the deductible will be subtracted from the loss. Since the loss is 1612 and the deductible is 750, the insurance company will pay:
= 1612 - 750
= 862
We are given:
The ratios of the number of hybrid vehicles to the total number of vehicles in the lot over a weekend (3 days) are equivalent.
This means that if on day 1, 100 hybrid cars parked and there are 300 cars in total, the ratio is 1 is to 3.
Therefore, on day 2 and 3, we can determine the number of hybrid cars parked given the total number of cars parked using the ratio, and vice versa.
Plug in x + 2 for y
x + 2 = 4x - 10
Subtract x
2 = 3x - 10
Add 10, 12 = 3x, x = 4
Plug into second equation
y = 4 + 2, y = 6
Solution: x = 4, y = 6... or (4,6)
