Let
x---------> amount of money saved by Mark
x---------> amount of money saved by Neil
we know that
x=y+258-------> equation 1
x/y=(7/4)-------> equation 2
substitute equation 1 in equation 2
(y+258) /y=7/4--------> 4*(y+258)=7*y------> 4y+1032=7y
7y-4y=1032--------> 3y=1032------> y=$344
x=344+258------>x=$602
the answer is
$602
Step-by-step explanation:
C. in descending order by weight<br /><br />
The original price was 725.
Explanation:
"36% less than" means taking 36% away from 100%. 100-36 is 64, so 64% remains when 36% is taken away. So, 64% of the original table's price is 464.
So, if the original price was x, 464=0.64x
Solve this by dividing both sides by 0,64:
725=x
So, the original price was 725.
