Answer: Meghan spent $687.5 per year.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount of money that Scott spends per year for auto insurance.
Meghan spends 25% more each year for auto insurance than Scott. The value of 25% of the amount that Scott spends per year is
25/100 × x = 0.25 × x = 0.25x
Therefore, the amount that Meghan spends would be
x + 0.25x = 1.25x
If the amount that they spent together is $1237.50 per year, it means that
x + 1.25x = 1237.5
2.25x = 1237.5
x = 1237.5/2.25
x = 550
The amount that Meghan spent per year would be
1.25 × 550 = 687.5
You first see where it starts on the y axis. whether it be 1 or 2 or 3 or even 3. Than you look at the slope by counting from that point from the y axis going up and over until you reach a point. not a line a point. and if it's 3 up and one over than it's 3x. But it's for example it's 3 up and 2 over than it's 3/2x. Than you set up the equation as y= mx + b. m being the slope that you found. x just remains the same. and b is where the point started on the y axis
4/5 x 3/4 is just 12/20, and then when you simplify that you get 3/4.
