Please, share the goal of the problem. If Carrie works 40 hours per week and spends 15% of her time at the register, how much time does she NOT spend at the register?
Subtract 15% from 100%; the result is 85%. Now find 85% of 40 hours:
0.85(40 hours) = 34 hours.
Please note that I invented part of this problem. Next time, share all of the info so that someone can help you solve YOUR particular problem.
Answer:
3x−4y=9 −3x+2y=9
Add these equations to eliminate x: −2y=18
Then solve−2y=18
for y: −2y=18 −2y −2 = 18 −2 (Divide both sides by -2)
y=−9
Now that we've found y let's plug it back in to solve for x.
Write down an original equation: 3x−4y=9
Substitute−9for y in 3x−4y=9: 3x−(4)(−9)=9
3x+36=9(Simplify both sides of the equation)
3x+36+−36=9+−36(Add -36 to both sides)
3x=−27 3x 3 = −27 3 (Divide both sides by 3) x=−9
Answer: x=−9 and y=−9

Answer: 33
explanation: 100/3 = 33.333, and since it isn't possible for 0.333 to be three different students being picked, there are only 33 different ways.
