Set up an equation to solve.
$8.50x (since it is the rate of change) + $12 (flat fee) = total money earned (or y). In this case, we have the total, amount, and are looking for x. Plug $139.50 into the equation.
$8.50x + $12 = $139.50
Now, solve for x.
$8.50x + $12-12 = $139.50-12 > <em>$8.50x = $127.5</em>
$8.50/8.50x = $127.5/8.50 > <em>x = 15</em>

Answer:
40% . The single reduction together is 40%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the bicycle cost is x before reduced price.
First 25% is reduced and again 20% further reduced.
Let the single reduction is y% if the two reduction together are equal.
Solution,
Case .1
reduction cost
%
The cost of bicycle after reduction of 25% is
cost of reduction further reduction of 20% 
%
The new cost of bicycle is further reduction of 20% is
Case.2
if single reduction is done new cost of cycle is equal
%=
%
single reduction of a cycle is 40%
Answer: x = 4 and y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 4y = -4
2x = -4 - 4y
x = -2 - 2y
Now that we have solved the first equation for x, we plug (-2 - 2y) into the other equation in place of x and then solve for y.
3(-2 -2y) + 5y = -3
-6 - 6y + 5y = -3
-y = 3
y = -3
Now that we know y, we plug it into the original equation and solve for x.
2x + 4(-3) = -4
2x + -12 = -4
2x = 8
x = 4
You can check the answer by plugging both x and y into either of the original equations.
the asnwer is 14 feet 5 inches because you add feet and then inches
