Let the number of Payday be p and Baby Ruth be b
<u>Then sub of the candy bars:</u>
- Payday candy bars worth ⇒ $2p
- Baby Ruth candy bars worth ⇒ $3b
- Total ⇒ $600
1. <u>Required equations:</u>
2. <u>Solving by substitution:</u>
p = 220 - b, consider it in the second equation
- 2(220 - b) + 3b = 600
- 660 - 2b + 3b = 600
- 660 + b = 600
- b = 660 - 600
- b = 60
60 Baby Ruth candy bars sold

You'll have to multiply 0.7 by 120.
120*0.7 = n
n is the number that is 70% of 120
120 * 0.7 = 84
Hope this helps :)
Answer: the original price of the shorts was $25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the original price of the shorts.
The store is having a sale in which all items are reduced by 20%. This means that the amount of discount on the shorts is
20/100 × x = 0.2x
The price of the shorts would be
x - 0.2x = 0.8x
If the sales tax is 5%, then the amount of sales tax charged is
5/100 × 0.8x = 0.04x
The final cost of the shorts would be
0.8x + 0.04x = 0.84x
Including tax, Jennifer paid $21 for a pair of shorts. This means that
0.84x = 21
x = 21/0.84
x = 25
