Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Number of bracelets with yellow beads is represented by
Each bracelet with yellow beads is sold for $5.
Total money raised by bracelets with yellow beads = Number of bracelets sold Money raised by sale of one such bracelet =
Also Given that Number of bracelets with Orange beads is represented by
Each bracelet with orange beads is sold for $6.
Total money raised by bracelets with orange beads = Number of bracelets sold Money raised by sale of one such bracelet =
Given that total money raised by sale of both type of bracelets is $660.
so, the first equation becomes:
It is also given that "<em>The number of bracelets with yellow beads that Sierra sold is 8 more than twice the number of bracelets with orange beads</em>"
So, by equation (1) and (2), the system of equations is:
Answer:
$48.97
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p represent the marked price of the mower. Then the price with tax is ...
with tax = p + 7.3%×p = 1.073p
The amount Flicka paid is the amount tendered less the change she received, so is ...
3×$20 - 7.45 = with tax = 1.073p
To find p, we can divide by its coefficient:
(3 × $20 - 7.45)/1.073 = p ≈ $48.97
The selling price before taxes was $48.97.
_____
<em>Comment on the problem</em>
If you check the answer, you find the amount with tax is ...
$48.97 × 1.073 ≈ $52.54481 ≈ $52.54
so the change Flicka would have received would have been $7.46, not $7.45. If the price were $48.98, then the change would have been $7.44. There is no price at which the mower can be marked that will make the total with tax come to $52.55. There is no solution to this problem.
