Would the answer for 36 be $9.88 or $9.75?

ludmilkaskok [199]

total bill before any discounts $13.

she is a student, so she gets 20% off.

she brought an item of clothing, so she gets 5% off.

so she's really getting 20% + 5% off, namely 25% off her bill.

$\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{25\% of 13}}{\left( \cfrac{25}{100} \right)13\implies 3.25}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{bill with all discounts}}{13-3.25\implies 9.75}$

Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>

y = 3

y = -3x + 6

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

Substitute in <em>y</em>: 3 = -3x + 6
[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 6 on both sides: -3 = -3x
[Division Property of Equality] Divide -3 on both sides: 1 = x
Rewrite/Rearrange: x = 1

<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>

Define original equation: y = -3(1) + 6
Multiply: y = -3 + 6
Add: y = 3

What is the initial value in the exponential equation below?<br><br> y =<br><br> = 4000(1.05)*

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

$y = 4000$ (when x = 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial value of the exponential equation is:

$y = 4000\cdot (1.05)^{0}$

$y = 4000\cdot 1$

$y = 4000$
