I'm going to have to go with choice "c". 10x - 1 with the remainder of 5
Answer:
<em>Beck actually caught 45 fish</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>System of Equations</u>
We call the following variables:
x = number of fish Ally caught
y = number of fish Beck caught
They caught a total of 75 fish, thus:
x + y = 75 [1]
If Ally had caught twice as much fish as she actually did, and Beck had caught three times as many fish as he actually did, then Ally would have caught 75 fewer fish than Beck, thus:
3y = 2x + 75 [2]
From [1]:
x = 75 - y [3]
Substituting in [2]:
3y = 2(75 - y) + 75
Operating:
3y = 150 - 2y + 75
Simplifying:
5y = 225
Dividing by 5:
y = 45
Beck actually caught 45 fish
Answer:
1. 96%
2. $6000
3. 176
4. 20%
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 1/5 of 80% is 16%. 80+16=96
2. 25% of 8000 is 2000. 8000-2000= 6000.
3. 10% increase of 200 is 20. 20+200=220. 20 percent of 220 is 44. 220-44=176
4. if you increase the original salary by 20%, then decreasing it by 20% of the new salary will give you the old salary.
150x100= 15,000 square meters
150x2= 300
100 + 300 = 400 meters of fencing
