◆ Define the variables:
Let the calorie content of Candy A = a
and the calorie content of Candy B = b
◆ Form the equations:
One bar of candy A and two bars of candy B have 774 calories. Thus:
a + 2b = 774
Two bars of candy A and one bar of candy B contains 786 calories
2a + b = 786
◆ Solve the equations:
From first equation,
a + 2b = 774
=> a = 774 - 2b
Put a in second equation
2×(774-2b) + b = 786
=> 2×774 - 2×2b + b = 786
=> 1548 - 4b + b = 786
=> -3b = 786 - 1548
=> -3b = -762
=> b = -762/(-3) = 254 calorie
◆ Find caloric content:
Caloric content of candy B = 254 calorie
Caloric content of candy A = a = 774 - 2b = 774 - 2×254 = 774 - 508 = 266 calorie

Answer:
D. $39,706.20
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, you are subtracting 14%. A way you could do this is buy finding 14% of $46,170.00, then subtracting that from itself. Or instead, you could find 86%. This works because its like your subtracting 14% from the whole 100%. so 100 - 14 = 86.
Method 1:
$46,170.00 x 0.14 = 6463.8
$46,170.00 - 6463.8 = 39706.2
Method 2:
100 - 14 = 86
$46,170.00 x 0.86 = 39706.2
either way the answer is still correct. i hope this make sense and that it helps you!
