A man sells a sofa for rs 3210 making a profit of 7% what would have been his profit percent if he had sold it for rs 3360?

1 answer:

7 0

Let x be the original cost for the sofa.
X x (1 + 0.07) =3210
X = 3000
Now we know the cost for the sofa.
Let p be the profit percent.
3000 x (1 + p) = 3360
P = 0.12
So the percentage profit is 12%

Solve the following equation for x. 3x + 23y = 17

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is x = 5 2/3 - 7 2y/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's solve the equation for x

3x + 23y = 17

3x = 17 - 23y (Subtracting 23y at both sides)

3x/3 = 17/3 - 23y/3 (Dividing by 3 at both sides)

x = 17/3 - 23y/3

2. Proof of 17/3 - 23y/3 as the value of x

3x + 23y = 17

3(17/3 - 23y/3) + 23y = 17 (Multiplying the values inside the parenthesis)

17 - 23y + 23y = 17

17 = 17

It has been proved that x = 17/3 - 23y/3

3. However we can simplify

17/3 - 23y/3

5 2/3 - 7 2y/3

There isn't a system of equations that will allow us to find y
