Answer:
x=-5, y=-8. (-5, -8).
Step-by-step explanation:
-x+2y=-11
5x-8y=39
---------------
5(-x+2y)=5(-11)
5x-8y=39
---------------------
-5x+10y=-55
5x-8y=39
--------------------
2y=-16
y=-16/2
y=-8
-x+2(-8)=-11
-x-16=-11
-x=-11+16
-x=5
x=-5
Answer:
144 people
Step-by-step explanation:
88% = 0.88
We multiply the total number with 0.88 to see how many people went in the water:
1200(0.88) = 1056
To find the number of those who did NOT go in the water, we subtract the product from the total number:
1200 - 1056 = 144
Amount of Interest = $36
Rate of interest = 3% per annum
Total time period for which the money was invested = 3 years
Let us assume the Principal amount = x
Then
Interest = Principal * Rate of Interest * time
36 = x * 3% * 3
36 = 9x/100
36 * 100 = 9x
3600 = 9x
x = 3600/9
= 400
So the initial sum of the money that was invested was $400.
the answer is 1.5 over 24. 1.5/24
Bottle 1 = $1.92 & 12 ounces
Bottle 2 = $2.40 & 16 ounces
Bottle 1
If 12 ounces costs $1.92, to determine the price of 1 ounce we divide $1.92 by 12.
$1.92 ÷ 12 = $0.16 per ounce for bottle 1.
Bottle 2
If 16 ounces costs $2.40, to determine the price of 1 ounce we divide $2.40 by 16.
$2.40 ÷ 16 = $0.15 per ounce for bottle 2.
Therefore we can determine that Bottle 2 is cheaper per ounce than Bottle 1.
