Y= 3.4. If you divide 37.4 by 11 then y would equal 3.4. Check by multiplying 3.4 by 11
The question is incomplete as the cost price isn't given. However, taking the cost price as x :
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
A car costs$cents when new. It was sold for four fifths of its cost price. How much money was lost on the car.
Let :
Cost price when new = x
Cost price when sold = 4/5 * cost price when new
Cost when sold = 4/5 of x = 4x/5
Amount of money lost on the car = (Cost price of car when new - Cost of car when sold)
Hence,
Amount of money lost on the car = (x - 4x/5)
x - 4x/5 = (5x - 4x) / 5 = x / 5
To obtain the exact price, kindly input the omitted cost when new for x.
Eliminate x's
multiply 2nd equation by -2 ad add to first
2x+3y=9
<u>-2x-10y=-16 +</u>
0x-7y=-7
-7y=-7
divide by -7
y=1
sub back
2x+3y=9
2x+3(1)=9
2x+3=9
minus 3
2x=6
divide 2

Area: If you multiply 2 1/3 by 5 2/5, you get an answer of about: 12.6, which means the area is about: 12.6in. squared.
Perimeter: If you add 2 1/3+ 2 1/3+ 5 2/5+ 5 2/5 you get an answer of about: 15.47. So, the perimeter is about 15.47in.
Note: If you aren't allowed to use a calculator on this test, you should probably multiply the numbers yourself so you get show the work and get the answer in a fraction, which is probably what they want. If you are allowed to use calculators, all the information you need is right here.
