Answer:
$966
Step-by-step explanation:
6/7 = 828/x
Write a proportion.
6x = 7(828) Use cross products.
6x = 5796 Multiply.
x = 966 Divide both sides by 6.
Paul's investment was $966.
0.19 for one cookie and 0.59 for one doughnut
x for how much one cookie costs and y for how much one doughnut costs
6x+4y=3.5
12x+5y=5.23
solve by substitution: (elimination would work too)
4y=3.5-6x
y=0.875-1.5x
12x+5(0.875-1.5x)=5.23
12x+4.375x-7.5x=5.23
4.5x=0.855
x=0.19
now use x to solve for y:
6(0.19)+4y=3.5
1.14+4y=3.5
2.36=4y
y=0.59
Check the work: 6(0.19)+4(0.59)=3.5
Answer:
Not really 100% sure how to answer this, but if you would like to find the price of any item 10% off, you would just multiply the price by 0.9
EX: item cost $100
$100 x 0.9 = $90
Meaning the price of the item after the discount is applied would be $90
