What is the solution to this system of equations? 5x + 2y = 29 x + 4y = 13

1 answer:

5 0

5x+2y=29
x+4y=13
Let's eliminate y;
To do so, multiply equation1 by 2;
10x+4y=58
x+4y=13
Subtract equation II from equation I to get;
9x=45
x=5

To solve for y, replace value of x in equation II,
x+4y=13
5+4y=13
4y=8
y=2

The price of an item has dropped to $63 today. Yesterday it was $140. What was the percentage decrease?

den301095 [7]

Given:

a.) The price of an item has dropped to $63 today.

b.) Yesterday it was $140.

For us to be able to determine the percentage decrease, we will be using the following formula:

$\text{ Percentage Decrease = }\frac{\text{ Original Price - Present Price}}{\text{ Original Price}}\text{ x 100}$

We get,

Original Price = $140

Present Price = $63

$\text{ Percentage Decrease = }\frac{\text{ Original Price - Present Price}}{\text{ Original Price}}\text{ x 100}$ $\text{ = }\frac{\text{ 140 - 63}}{\text{ 140}}\text{ X 100}$ $\text{ = }\frac{77}{140}\text{ X 100}$ $\text{ = }0.55\text{ x 100}$ $\text{Percentage Decrease = }55\text{\%}$

Therefore, the decrease of the price in percentage is 55%.
