Answer:

A costs #711.5385

B costs #553.0769

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost of powder A be x and powder B be y

When he’s given refund, equation can be written as

6x=1740+3y

6x-3y=1740 eqn 1

2x-y=870 making y the subject of the formula

Y=2x-870

Also, from the initial shopping

3x+5y=4900 eqn 2

Substituting the formula of y into eqn 2 we obtain

3x+5(2x-870)=4900

3x+10x-4350=4900

13x=4900+4350=9250

X=9250/13= 711.5385

Y=2x-870=2(711.5385)-870= 553.0769

. A car bought for $20,000. Its value depreciates by 10% each year for 3 years. What is the car's worth after3 years?

Mila [183]

Answer:

$14,580

Step-by-step explanation:

To start off, 10% of 20,000-one easy way to do this is to multiply 20,000 by 0.1, which is 10% in decimal form

-In doing that, you get 2,000

-Now the question says that the value is depreciated which means it goes down in value, so subtract 2,000 from 20,000 to 18,000

-the value of the car after one year is now $18,000

Now, let's move to the second year. This time find 10% of 18,000

-multiply 18,000 by 0.1 to get 1,800

-since the value is depreciating, or becoming less, we will subtract 1,800 from 18,000 to get 16,200

-the value of the car after two years is now $16,200

Finally, let's look at the value of the car after three years. Only this time, we will now find 10% of 16,200

-multiply 16,200 by 0.1 to get 1,620

-since value is being depreciated, or lessened, we will once again be subtracting. Subtract 1,620 from 16,200 to get 14,580

Therefore, the value of the car after three years is now $14,580.

set up and solve a system of equations to solve the problem The school band sells carnations on Valentine's Day for $3 each. It

sasho [114]

Answer:

Number of carnations = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of carnations school band buys from florist be x.

Cost of each carnation = $0.50

Total cost for x number of carnations = $0.50x

Also , delivery cost = $15

So, total cost on buying x number of carnations from florist = 0.50x + 15

Now,

School band sells carnations at a price of $3 each.

Total revenue they get get after selling x number of carnations = $3x

We need to find that , when will the cost of the carnations be equal to the revenue from selling them.

i.e 3x = 0.50x + 15

or 3x - 0.50x = 15

or 2.50x = 15

or x = $\frac{15}{2.50}$

or x = 6

so on selling 6 carnations cost of carnation reach to the point where it is equal to revenue
