Answer:
x=13
Step-by-step explanation:
Switch sides:
2x−9=17
Add 9 to both sides:
2x−9+9=17+9
Simplify
2x=26
Divide both sides by 2:
2x/2 =26/2
Simplify to get the result.
x=13
She puts 8% of her salary in, so multiply her pay by 8% to get her yearly amount she saves:
45000 x 0.08 = $3,600 per year.
The company puts 6% of that in the account:
3600 x 0.06 = $216
So per year 3600 + 216 = $3,816 is saved.
3,816 x 2 = $7,632 is the 2 year total.
The answer is A.
1/2 x > 0.4x
where Robert's spending is greater than Rosa's spending.
Allowance of Rosa = Allowance of Robert
let x = allowance
Rosa : video games = 0.4(x) ; pizza = 2/5 (x)
Robert : video games = 1/2 (x) ; pizza = 0.25 (x)
let us assume that their allowance is 100 each week. so, x = 100
Rosa : video games = 0.40(100) = 40
pizza 2/5 (100) = 200/5 = 40
total spending: 40 + 40 = 80
Robert : video games = 1/2 (100) = 50
pizza 0.25 (100) = 25
total spending: 50 + 25 = 75
Spending on video games
Rosa = 40
Robert = 50
Robert spent more of his allowance on video games than Rosa.
1/2 x > 0.4x
Answer:
