Answer:
Let x = the charge in 1st city before taxes
Let y = the charge in 2nd city before taxes
Set up equation before taxes.
y = x - 1500 eq1
Set up equation for total tax paid.
0.065x + 0.06y = 378.75 eq2
Substitute eq1 into eq2.
0.065x + 0.06(x - 1500) = 378.75
0.065x + 0.06x - 90 = 378.75
0.125x - 90 = 378.75
0.125x = 468.75
x = 3750
Substitute this value of x into eq1.
y = 3750 - 1500
y = 2250
The hotel charge in city one is $3750 and the hotel charge in city two is $2250
So what you have to do to figure this out is 47-20 to get 27, then take 27 and divide it by 3 to get the answer of 9 comic books were sold by John.
Answer:
48 million
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 48,000,000 has TWO non-zero numbers, not one, it can't be the
answer.
The largest digit in the given number is the ten-millions digit, so
you want to round to the nearest ten million, rather than the nearest
million.
47,859,600 rounds to 50,000,000, to one significant digit.
Normally, we would say "round to one significant digit," but you
probably have not seen that term. Your question means the same th
Answer:
The numbers are 14 and 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let one of the numbers be x. The second number we are told is 3 less than twice x. The second number will thus be;
2x - 3
The sum of the numbers is thus;
x + (2x - 3) = 3x - 3
But the sum of the numbers is said to be 39, therefore;
3x - 3 = 39
3x = 42
x = 14
The second number is thus;
2(14) - 3 = 28 - 3 = 25
