Answer: 21 & 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum of two numbers is 39
Difference is 3
Let the numbers be x & y
X+y=39........equation 1
X-y=3...........equation 2
X=3+y............equation 3
Substitute equation 3 into equation 1
(3+y)+y=39
3+y+y=39
3+2y=39
2y=39-3
2y=36
Y=36/2
Y=18
Substitute for y in equation 2
X-y=3
X-18=3
X=3+18
X=21
The two numbers are 21 & 18
Answer:
$51.70 is the original price
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Turn 40% into a decimal which makes it 0.40
ex. 50% would be 0.50, 5% would be 0.05 etc.
Step 2:
Put the numbers into this formula: Original Price (x) - Percent Off times Original Price = Sales Price
x - 0.40x = 31.02 this is basically 1x - 0.40x = 31.02 so,
Solving the left side of our equation gives us 1x - 0.40x = 0.60x
so now you have: 0.60x = 31.02
Step 3:
Divide both sides by 0.60 which gets x by itself and gives us the original price which is $51.70
Since there are 12 months in there year and there have already been 3 months there are 9 left
we need to multiply 4.25 by 9 and then add the first 15 inchess
4.25 times 9 = 38.25+15 = 53.25
Florida will recieve 53.25 inches of rain
I hope I've helped!
