Answer:

The answer to your question is: One has saved $35 and the other $20

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

2 brothers

combined savings = $55

One brother has $15 more than the other

x = savings of one brother

y = savings of the other brother

- Process

Write an equation or two equations and solve it for x and y

(1) x + y = 55

(2) x = y + 15 Solve this system by substitution (2) in (1)

y + 15 + y = 55

2y = 55 - 15

2y = 40

y = 40/2

y = $ 20

x = 20 + 15

x = $ 35

$\bf \begin{cases}
z_1=12[cos(55^o)+i~sin(55^o)]\\\\
z_2=4[cos(95^o)+i~sin(95^o)]
\end{cases}\\\\

{{ r_1}}[cos({{ \alpha}})+isin({{ \alpha}})]\quad \cdot \quad {{ r_2}}[cos({{ \beta}})+isin({{ \beta}})]
\\\\\\
\implies {{ r_1\cdot r_2}}[cos({{ \alpha}} + {{ \beta}})+isin({{ \alpha}} + {{ \beta}})]\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
z_1\cdot z_2\implies 12\cdot 4[cos(55^o+95^o)+i~sin(55^o+95^o)]
\\\\\\
48[cos(150^o)+i~sin(150^o)]
\\\\\\
|~48[cos(150^o)+i~sin(150^o)]~|\implies 48[cos(150^o)+i~sin(150^o)]$

A store has a sale with 20% off every item. When you enter the store, you receive a coupon that states that you receive an addit

No, because let’s say for example that something cost $100.00 so you take 20% (or $20) off of the 100 and you’re left with $80.00. Well then you have your 10% off coupon so you take 10% off of 80, which is 8 dollars. So now you’re at $72.00.

But if we just took off 30% from 100 originally, you would be at $70.00

So no it wouldn’t be the same. If you wanted to check the idea yourself just use different numbers and see if they match at the end.
