Answer:
a) Given expression,
12% of 312
Since 100% of 312 = 312
⇒ 10% of 312 = 31.2,
⇒ 1% = 3.12
⇒ 2% = 2 × 3.12 = 6.24
So, 12% of 312 = 10% of 312 + 2% of 312
= 31.2 + 6.24
= 37.44
b) Given,
Total number of servings = 312,
The percentage of vitamin C in each serving = 12%,
Thus, the total amount of the vitamin C in 312 servings = 12% of 312


= 37.44,
Hence, the question can be asked about the total amount of the vitamin C.
So with this, I will be using the substitution method. With the first equation, substitute (y+3) into the x variable and solve for y:

Next, now that we have the value of y, substitute it into either equation to solve for x:

<u>And this is how you get your final answer (5,2).</u>
