Hello there! We are looking for the amount of total sales. To find the amount of total sales, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:
180/x = 3/100
We do this, because 180 is part of the whole, 3% is a part of 100%. This proportion will help us get to the correct answer. Let's cross multiply. 180 * 100 is 18,000. 3 * x is 3x. that makes 18,000 = 3x. Now, divide each side by 3 to isolate the x. 3x/3 cancels out. 18,000/3 is 6,000. Let's check this. 6,000 * 3% (0.030 is 180. 180 = 180. There. x = 6,000. The amount of sales is $6,000.
Since the 7 is in front of the parentheses you must multiply it by everything inside the parentheses. 7 times X is 7X and 7 times -2 is -14. Then you need to make the X be by itself on one side, to do that you have to add 14 to -14 to make it disappear, and also add 14 to the other side, to 28. Then you divide both sides by 7 to make X be by itself.
7(x-2)=28
7X-14=28
7x=42
X=6

C. "David's equation is correct, because their spending will be multiplied by the number of months and then subtracted from their savings"
they are technically saying "Look we have 12,350 to use. How long (y) will the savings (12,350) last after using 240 each month (x)
so the amount they use *PER* month gets subtracted from the savings because they are using that money to pay with
Hope this helps :)
Answer: 0.6 in 10 % ; 0.4 in 15 %
Step-by-step explanation:
1. (x*10%) + (y*15%)/ x+y=12%
2. x+y = 1 x= 1-y
(0.1x + 0.15y/ x+y= 12/100) * 100
(10x + 15y/x+y = 12)*(x+y)
10x+15y= 12x + 12y
-2x=-3y
2x = 3y 2(1 - y)= 3y
2-2y=3y 2= 5y
y= 0.4
x= 0.6
