X+y=55
Y= X+17
X+ X+17=55
2x+17=55
Subtract 17
2x= 38
Divide by 2
X=19
Larger number 19+17=36
36
Let z be any number (like x would be)
if we set z equal to 2x-6y, then we get z = 2x-6y
The system
2x-6y = 8
2x-6 = 3
turns into this new system
z = 8
z = 3
but z is a single number. It can't be both 8 and 3 at the same time. So there are no solutions
I believe that you need to divide 4 by 8 to get $0.50 per juice box.
Answer:
- housing, $1056
- food, $552
- transportation, $408
- savings, $240
- clothing, $144
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the budget total by the percentage for each category:
- housing: 44% × $2400 = $1056
- food: 23% × $2400 = $552
- clothing: 6% × $2400 = $144
- transportation: 17% × $2400 = $408
- savings: 10% × $2400 = $240
__
Find "the rest" by subtracting the total of percentages from 100%, or by subtracting the total of budget categories from $2400. Here, everything (not including savings) adds to 90% × $2400 = $2160, so the amount to savings is 10%, or $240.
