It's actually spelled multiplication
X = pencils, y = pens
8x + 6y = 8.50
4x + 4y = 5.....multiply by -2
----------------
8x + 6y = 8.50
-8x - 8y = -10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-----------------add
-2y = - 1.50
y = -1.50 / -2
y = 0.75 <=== pens cost 0.75
4x + 4y = 5
4x + 4(0.75) = 5
4x + 3 = 5
4x = 5 - 3
4x = 2
x = 2/4
x = 0.50 <== pencils cost 0.50
Answer:
$2
Step-by-step explanation:
To use a percent you must change it to a decimal.
8% is .08
To find 8% of 25, we use multiplication.
.08 × 25
= 2
In case you cannot use a calculator or you want to be very quick about this, or just do a simple check... you can actually reverse the number (money, amount, etc) and the percent.
25% of 8 is not bad for doing mental math. 25% is a quarter, or 1/4 of 8 which again is 2.
