i would say D) 12 is your answer
3/5 = 60%
20 ÷ 5 = 4
3 x 4 = 12
Answer is A) 12/20
Answer:
Cost of five blouses = $145
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = cost of blouse
y = cost of skirt
15x + 2y = 505 (1)
5x + 2y = 215 (2)
Subtract (2) from (1) to eliminate y
15x - 5x = 505 - 215
10x = 290
x = 290/10
x = 29
Substitute x = 29 into (2)
5x + 2y = 215 (2)
5(29) + 2y = 215
145 + 2y = 215
2y = 215 - 145
2y = 70
y = 70/2
y = 35
x = cost of blouse = $29
y = cost of skirt = $35
How much do 5 such blouses cost?
cost of a blouse = $29
Cost of five blouses = $29 × 5
= $145
Cost of five blouses = $145
Answer:
(52, 32 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = x - 20 → (1)
x + y = 84 → (2)
Substitute y = x - 20 into (2)
x + x - 20 = 84, that is
2x - 20 = 84 ( add 20 to both sides )
2x = 104 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 52
Substitute x = 52 into (1) for corresponding value of y
y = 52 - 20 = 32
Solution is (52, 32 )
C and E are the corrects answers
