Hello there! So, let's do this a bit at a time. Mike's Bikes sells a bike for $300, but gives a 25% discount for any bike in the store. To find out how much he would pay for the bike, multiply 300 by 75% (0.75). This is because you are still paying 75% of the original price for that bike. When you do, you get 225. That's $225 for the bike at Mike's Bikes. Now, the one at Cycle Center sells a bike for $275, but gives a rebate of $40 after purchasing the bike. A rebate is basically a refund: you get money paid back to you. In this case, we would subtract 40 from 275, because you're basically getting paid back some of what you did pay. 275 - 40 is 235. That's $235 for the bike at Cycle Center. I'll write the prices of the bikes out to make it easier to read.
Mike's Bikes: $225
Cycle Center: $235
Okay. so when you look at the prices for the mountain bikes, you see that the bike at Mike's Bikes is $10 cheaper than the bike at Cycle Center. Dante should purchase his mountain bike at Mike's Bikes, because he will pay less money there. The Cycle Center does give $40 back, but Mike's Bikes has the bike that costs less. 225 < 235.
2x+2y=4x+6y
and then x will equal 2y
Answer: 5
Step-by-step explanation: Sum of Angles = 900'. 6 right angles
= 540', leaving 360', which is impossible.
Y = 4x - 9 and y = x-3 so the two right sides (4x-9 and x-3) must be equal
4x-9 = x-3
Let's solve for x
4x-9 = x-3
4x-9+9 = x-3+9 ... add 9 to both sides
4x = x+6
4x-x = x+6-x ... subtract x from both sides
3x = 6
3x/3 = 6/3 ... divide both sides by 3
x = 2
If x = 2, then y is...
y = 4*x - 9 = 4*2-9 = 8-9 = -1
which can also be found by
y = x-3 = 2-3 = -1
So overall x = 2 and y = -1
We have the ordered pair (x,y) = (2,-1)
575.00= 100% 575 divided by 100= 5.75 times 25= 143.75 So then 575.00 - 143.75 = 431.25 (the discount was 143.75, and her new total would be 431.25)
