Answer: 12.
To solve this problem, let's first solve for x. Thi is easiest done by figuring what QR is in terms of x using two equations, both from different lines.
In the first line: QR = 15 - 4x.
In the third line:QR = 13x - 1 - x = 12x - 1.
Now, we have to set these equations equal to each other. 15 - 4x = 12x - 115 = 16x - 116x = 16x = 1
Next, we take line three, 13x - 1, and substitute x as 1. The answer is 12.
The benchmarks are: 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.
2. 81 → 2.75
+
3.73 → 3.75
------------
2.75 + 3.75 = 6.50
So according to the question statements
6% of the $40k and 7$ of the second $40k and 9% ammount of the $80k
the answer would be
40000 * 0.06
+ 40000 * 0.07
+ 25000 * 0.09
= 270250
