Answer:
x=1000 or 10 to the 3rd power
The answer would be:
y = 5
x = 4
Then mark it down by less then 1%, of by whatever the number would be.
The interest figure always means the interest for a year.
120 days is 1/3 of a year, so you'll only earn 1/3 of 6.5% .
6.5% = 0.065
1/3 of that is 0.02167 .
(0.02167) x (7,000) = 151.67
Not impressed that you consider yourself "too lazy" to at least get started on the solution of this problem. Why not "give it the old college try?"
Start by choosing letters to represent the unit cost of each popcorn and drink:
p: popcorn, d: drink.
Then 2p + 3d = $22.25 and 12p+4d=$39.00
Note that the unit of measurement of all 6 terms here is " $ ".
Solve this system of linear equations simultaneously:
2p + 3d = $22.25
12p+4d=$39.00
In your shoes I would mult. the first equation by -6 and then combine the result with the second equation. p will temporarily disappear, and you'll be left with an equation in d only, enabling you to find the unit cost of a drink.
Come on. Show your stuff. You'll need to respond through Comments.
