The answer is chicken $8, duck $5

x - the cost of a chicken
y - the cost of a duck

<span>he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550: 50x + 30y = 550
</span><span>he sold 44 chickens and 36 ducks for $532: 44x + 36y = 532

</span>50x + 30y = 550                divide by 10
44x + 36y = 550                 divide by 4
______________
50x/10 + 30y/10 = 550/10
44x/4 + 36y/4 = 532/4
______________
5x + 3y = 55                                    Multiply by (-3)
11x + 9y = 133
______________
5x * (-3) + 3y * (-3) = 55 * (-3)
11x + 9y = 133
______________
-15x - 9y = -165
11x + 9y = 133
______________
Sum up:
-4x + 0y = -32
-4x = -32
x = -32/-4
x = 8


Since 5x + 3y = 55  and x = 8, then:
5 * 8 + 3y = 55
40 + 3y = 55
3y = 55 - 40
3y = 15
y = 15/3
y = 5

NEED HELP WITH 13 a-b!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

Answer:

a - 6%

b - $7.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer for a

the only items that had sales tax were $3.00 and $0.50. The total tax for the both was $0.21 so you can find what percent 0.21 is of 3.00 + 0.50 o 3.50. Do this by dividing the percent you are looking for, 0.21, by what it is the percent of 3.50. 0.21 / 3.50 = 0.06. then you multiply the number you got, in this case 0.06 by 100 to find the percentage so it is 6%

The answer for b

Here you can just take the subtotal, $13.00, and subtract all the other prices and you will be left with the price of the top. 13.00 - 3.00 - 2.00 - 0.50 = 7.50. So the answer is $7.50
