Answer:
the dog has 320 bones :)
Step-by-step explanation:
If you are buying something that cost $15 and sale tax is 6%, you can calculate final bill trough proportions:
$15:100%=$x:106%
100x=106*15, x=(106*15)/100, x=$15.9 is final bill.
You can also use easier way: $15+0.06*$15=$15.9
Explanation for 2nd way: Cost is $15, on that you need to add 6% of $15: (6%/100%)*$15 and that is 0.06*15.
Keiko has a total of $5200
x is the amount of money in larger account
y is the amount of money in smaller account
x - y = $900
and x + y = $5200
<u>This creates two simultaneous equations:</u>
x - y = $900 ... (i)
x + y = $5200 ... (ii)
Adding (i) and (ii) :
2x = $6100 , x = $3050
y = x - $900 = $3050 - $900 = $2150
The amount of money in larger account (x) = $3050
The amount of money in smaller account (y) = $2150
