Answer:
(c, d) = (25, 35)
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the first equation by 2.5 and subtract the second one:
2.5(c +d) -(2.5c +1.75d) = 2.5(60) -(123.75)
0.75d = 26.25 . . . . . . . . . simplify
26.25/0.75 = d = 35 . . . . divide by the coefficient of d
60 -d = c = 25 . . . . . . . . . use the first equation to find c
(c, d) = (25, 35)
D=dollars earned
T=time spent painting the fence.
(1,5) (2,10) (3,15)
D=5T
Percent decrease=decrease/original times 100
decreas=860-790=70
original=860
percent decrease=70/860 times 100
percent decrease=0.0813953 times 100
percent decrease=8.13953
about 8%
