Answer:
292.32
Step-by-step explanation:
16% = 0.16
348 × 0.16 = 55.68
348 - 55.68 = 292.32
In this problem you would set these two equations equal to each other.
$8+ $1.50x = $10+ $1x
After this you would simplify the equation to isolate x (being the number of toppings you put on the pizzas)
$8+ 1.50x =$10+ 1x
-8 -8
----------------------------
$1.50x = $2 + $1x
-1x -1x
---------------------------
$.50x/.50 = $2/.50
_______________
x= 4 toppings and the pizzas would equal $14 total
Graph four shows the increase
Amy: x skirts
Betty: 2x skirts
Carol: (2x) + 7 skirts
If Amy has 18 less than Carol, than Carol's equation minus 18 equals Amy's equation:
[(2x) + 7] - 18 = x
+18 +18
(2x) + 7 = x + 18
- 7 -7
2x = x + 11
-x -x
x = 11
Input the solution for x into the girls equation to double check.
Amy: 11
Betty: 2(x)
2(11)
=22
Carol: (2x) + 7
22 + 7
=29
Does Amy have 18 less than Carol?
Carol - Amy = 18
29 - 11 = 18
18 = 18
the problem is solved
11/1.
Hope this helps,
and I hope you have a productive day!
