Answer: For the sum of 130
First: $90
Second: $40
Step-by-step explanation:
We write equations for each part of this situation.
<u>The Total Charge</u>
Together they charged 1550. This means 1550 is made up of the first mechanics rate for 15 hours and the second's rate for 5 hours. Lets call the first's rate a, so he charges 15a. The second's let's call b. He charges 5b. We add them together 15a+5b=1550.
<u>The Sum of the Rates</u>
Since the first's rate is a and the second is b, we can write a+b=130 since their sum is 130.
We solve for a and b by substituting one equation into another. Solve for the variable. Then substitute the value into the equation to find the other variable.
For a+b=130, rearrange to b=130-a and substitute into 15a+5b=1550.
15a + 5 (130-a)=1550
15a+650-5a=1550
10a+650-650=1550-650
10a=900
a=$90 was charged by the first mechanic.
We substitute to find the second mechanic's rate.
90+b=130
90-90+b=130-90
b= $40 was charged by the second mechanic

Answer:
Total discount = $39.50
or 46.47 %
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to figure out what she will pay for the shoes. She is getting 30 percent off the 65 dollars.
Discount = price * percent off
= 65*.3
= 19.50
The cost of her shoes is the price minus the discount.
Cost = 65- 19.5
= 45.50
To find the total discount, take the original price and subtract the final cost.
Total discount = 85-45.50
= 39.50
To find the total percent discount, we use the formula
total percent discount = (original - final)/original * 100
= (85- 45.50)/85 * 100
= 39.5/85*100
= 46.47%
