4) C looks pretty good
5) D looks great
:) ask if you'd like to know how I figured that out
Finding a price that is 30% lower than $2075 is the same as finding a price that is 70% of $2075.
That means all we need to do is calculate what is 70% of $2075.
Convert 70% into decimal form which is 0.70.
Next, multiply $2075 by 0.70.
$2075*0.70 = $1452.50
The price the travel agent found was $1452.50
Note: If you don't know how to multiply by decimals you can multiply $2075 by 7 than divide the result by 10 (move the decimal point one place to the left).
It’s called the associative law you can add numbers in any order you want
Please give me a couple of minutes, I’ll answer in the comment section
Let
x = the number of tapers (each coss $1)
y = the number of pillars (each costs $4)
z = the number of jars (each costs $6)
There are 8 candles in each basket, therefore
x + y + z = 8 (1)
The cost per basket is $24, therefore
x + 4y + 6z = 24 (2)
The number of tapers equals the sum of pillars and jars, therefore
x = y + z (3)
Substitute (3) into (1) and into (2).
y + z + y + z = 8
2y + 2z = 8
y + z = 4 (4)
y + z + 4y + 6z = 24
5y + 7z = 24 (5)
From (4), y = 4 -z. Substitute into (5).
5(4 - z) + 7z = 24
2z + 20 = 24
2z = 4
z = 2
y = 4 - z = 4 - 2 = 2
x = y + z = 2 + 2 = 4
Answer: 4 tapers, 2 pillars, 2 jars.
