$7x +8y = 25 ~~~....(i)\\\\9x +10y = 35~~~ ....(ii)\\\\\text{Multiply equation (ii) by}~ \dfrac 79 ~ \text{and do (ii) - (i):}\\\\\dfrac 79 (9x +10y) - (7x +8y) = \dfrac 79 (35) - 25\\\\\\\implies 7x +\dfrac{70y}9 - 7x -8y = \dfrac{245}9 -25\\\\\\\implies - \dfrac{2y}9 = \dfrac{20}9\\\\\\\implies -2y =20\\\\\implies y =-10\\\\\text{Substitute}~ y = -10~ \text{in equation (i):}\\\\\\7x +8(-10) = 25\\\\\implies 7x = 25 +80\\\\\implies 7x = 105 \\\\\implies x =15\\\\$

$\\\text{Hence}~ (x,y) = (15,-10)$

Answer:

The answer is 11,374

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find 5% of 9,400 is.

9,400 * 5% = 470

Next we add 9,400 with 470 then multiply by 20%

9,400 + 470 = 9,870

9,870 * 20% = 1974

Next we add.

9,870 + 1,974 = 11,374

So, the answer is 11,374

Hope this helps! :)
