215 - 44.49 (I added the two deductions mentally) = 170.51
I see the percentages 2%, 1% and 3% add up to 6%
So we want 6% of 215 or .06 x 215 = $12.90
$170.51 - 12.90 = $157.61 net income.
Answer: A single turquoise guppy costs $3.69
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us use "x" to represent the amount a single turquoise is sold and use "y" to represent that of the Glo fish.
Since Kellen bought 4 guppies and 3 glo fishes for $41.73:
4x + 3y = 41.73 --------eqn 1
Similarly, Danielle purchased 3 guppies and 5 Glo fish for $56.02:
Therefore 3x + 5y = $56.02 -----eqn2
The 2 equations are;
4x + 3y = 41.73 (eqn 1)
3x + 5y = 56.02 (eqn 2)
We then solve the simultaneous equations using substitution method:
From eqn 1,
4x + 3y = 41.73
4x = 41.73 - 3y
x = (41.73 - 3y)/4
Substitute x for (41.73 - 3y)/4 in eqn2.
3[(41.73 - 3y)/4 + 5y = 56.02
11y + 125.19 = 224.08
11y =98.89
y = 98.89/11
y = $8.99
So, 1 Glo fish costs $8.99
Then, substitute "y" for 8.99 in equation 1
4x + (3×8.99) = 41.73
4x + 26.97 = 41.73
4x = 41.73 - 26.97
4x = 14.76
x = 14.76/4
x = $3.69
Therefore 1 turquoise guppy costs $3.69
Hello there! Solution given below!
<h3>Solution:</h3>
<h3>Answer:</h3>
Hope it helps you
The shopkeeper spends 2x + 21 dollars on electricity
The amount the shopkeeper spends on electricity less than $100 is:
x < 39.5
<h3>What is a linear inequality?</h3>
Linear inequality explains the range of values that a variable represents.
Total amount spent by the shopkeeper = 7x + 19
Amount spent on rent = 5x - 2
Total amount spent = Amount spent on rent + Amount spent on electricity
(7x + 19) = (5x - 2 ) + Amount spent on electricity
Amount spent on electricity = (7x + 19) - (5x - 2)
Amount spent on electricity = 7x - 5x + 19 + 2
Amount spent on electricity = 2x + 21
For which value(s) of x is the amount the shopkeeper spends on electricity less than $100?
Amount spent on electricity < 100
2x + 21 < 100
2x < 100 - 21
2x < 79
x < 79/2
x < 39.5
