Answer:

the store owner pays $ 42 for the pair of jeans

Step-by-step explanation:

we will make an equation that represents the cost of the item and the cost of sale

we will call x at the cost of the item we don't know the price

x * 125/100 = 52.50

Now that we have the equation we just have to clear the x

x = 52.50 / (125/100)

and finally we solve

x = 52.50 / 1.25

x = 42

the store owner pays $ 42 for the pair of jeans

An airplane has 29 seats. The price for a coach seat is $600 in the price for a first class seat is $1050. The airline collected
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

19 coach seats

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of coach seats be C and number of first class seats be F

given that the total number of seats is 29,

C + F = 29 ---------(eq 1)

also given that each coach seat = $600, each 1st class seat is $1050 and a total of $21900 was collected,

600C + 1,050F = 21,900 -------(eq 2)

we have 2 equations and 2 unknowns, we can solve the system of equations by elimination

(eq 1) x 1,050 gives us:

1,050 (C + F) = 1,050(29)

1,050C + 1,050F = 30,450 ----- (eq 3)

by elimination, subtract eq 2 from eq 3

(1,050C + 1,050F) - (600C + 1,050F) = 30,450 - 21,900

1,050C - 600C = 8,550  

450C = 8550

C = 855 /450

C = 19
