4x-3y=17......(1)
5x+4y=60......(2)
Multiply equation (1) by 4 and equation (2) by 3:-
16x - 12y = 68
15x + 12y = 180
Adding these 2 equations:_
31x = 248
x = 248/31 = 8
Now substitute x = 8 in equation (1):-
4(8) - 3y = 17
32-3y = 17
-3y = -15
y = -15/-3 = 5
So solution is x=8,y=5
Answer:
40% profit
Step by step Explanation:
Profit percentage
=( profit/cost price) * 100
0.2 = profit/cost
10+15+20+25+30= 100
Let's assume the cost price of the items is $1 each
Cost price total= $100
Profit made when buyer of 20 toffe didn't say was
0.2=profit/cost
0.2*100 =$20
If the$ 20 paid.
Total profit = $40
So percentage profit now
40/100 * 100 = 40%
