Because they all go into 100 easily. for example 10*10=100 5*20=100
Answer:
addition I hope this is right
1. Multiply the value of the house by the percent:
250,000 x 0.9 = 225,000
Divide the amount the owner insured by the clause amount:
191,250/225,000 = 0.85
Multiply that by the amount of damage:
0.85 x 80,000 = 68,000
They will receive $68,000
2. Follow the same steps as above:
180,000 x 0.75 = 135,000
101,250 / 135,000 = 0.75
0.75 x 50,000 = 37,500
They will receive $37,500
So the two numbers can be represented as x and y
so x is first and y is second
y=2(x)-8
so y=2x-8
IF THEY ARE CONSECUTIVE
If they are consecutive numbers then
x+1=y
subtitute
x+1=2x-8
subtract x from both sides
1=x-8
add 8 to both sides and get
9=x
put it into the equation and get
y=2(9)-8
y=18-8
y=10
so x=9
y=10
IF X AND Y ARE CONSECUTIVE INTEGERS (1,2,3,4 not 2.3 or 1,3,5,8)
