U got a 44 on your test so 20 percent of 68.70 plus the 44
I can’t really explain but this is my working step by step, hope u can understand and see if it helps you :)
This will help a lot if you go to desmos! Just graph the equation on there! It’s much easier to see on computer
Answer:
25 cent stamps = 13 and 29 cent stamps = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 25 cent stamps and y = 29 cent stamps
x + y = 28......x = 28 - y
0.25x + 0.29y = 7.60
0.25(28 - y) + 0.29y = 7.60
7 - 0.25y + 0.29y = 7.60
-0.25y + 0.29y = 7.60 - 7
0.04y = 0.60
y = 0.60 / 0.04
y = 15 <===== 29 cent stamps
x + y = 28
x + 15 = 28
x = 28 - 15
x = 13 <===== 25 cent stamps
lets check it...
0.25x + 0.29y = 7.60
0.25(13) + 0.29(15) = 7.60
3.25 + 4.35 = 7.60
7.60 = 7.60 (correct..it checks out)
150
13+46= 59
59+87= 146
Round 46 to the nearest ten, which in this case would be 50 because the last number is larger than a 5.
Then add the 1 back in to make it 150.
