Since sale is 40% so the price is 60%
61*(60%) = 36.6
the tax is 5%
so the price after tax is: 36.6 * (1 +5%) = $38.43
-2x + y =3
use 5 number and put it in above equation to find y, I will use -2,-1,0,1,2
x y
-2 -1
-1 1
0 3
1 5
2 7
Then draw the graph, find another point in the graph which intersect the slope,
lets say i found (-3,-3)which is on the slope
to prove it, i put (-3,-3) in the equation -2x + y = 3
and i got
3 = 3
Thus it is correct.
Answer:
I think so, but don't lose sight
Let's assign a variable x to the number of multiples for each pound of dry mix and water. With that being the said, the question for finding the total pounds would be:
Total pounds = x*Pounds of dry mix + x*Pounds of water
Total pounds = 60x + 8x = 68x = 14 + 1/6 = 85/6
x = 85/6 / 68
x = 5/24
Thus, the pounds of dry mix is 60*5/24 = 25/2 lbs, while the pounds of water is 8*5/24 = 5/3 pounds.
