Answer:

5, 17

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you need to create a system of equations.

We can name one number x and the other y.

First equation: 2x + 7 = y

Second equation: x + y - 10 = 12, or x + y = 22.

We know y = 2x + 7, so we can substitute that into the second equation.

x + 2x + 7 = 22.

3x = 15

x = 5.

Plug x back into the first equation:

2 · 5 + 7 = y.

y = 10 + 7

y = 17.

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

f(a_n) = 0.7f(a_{n-1}) + 25

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of t-shirts a in month n is 70% of the number of t-shirts in month n-1 plus 25 because they always sell 30% of the t-shirts and get 25 t-shirts in shipments. f(0)=100 can be included as an after-thought.

Can someone help me with questions 1-4
Natalka [10]
1.)
Old Number:35
New Number:45

Now, subract the new number(45) from the old number. (35)

45-35 is 10. Now divide the old number (35) by 10. 
You'll get 3.5. 3.5%, increase is the answer for #1.

2.) Old: s (students)
     New: 36,750

Do 100+5 (Addition because we do not know what the old number is.) 100+5 is 105. Move decimal over twice and you get 1.05. Multiply 36,750 by 1.05.
There were 38,587.5 kids last year.


3.)Since the discount is 15% off, do 100-15=85. Now, move the decimal over from the percent, and that makes that .85. Now multiply 50x.85. You get 42.5, or $42.50. Now the coupon is 10%, So subtract 100-10, giving you 90. Now move the decimal over. .90. Multiply 42.5 (or 42.50) by .90. You get 38.25. You do have enough money.

4.) Subtract 100-15, giving you 85. Move decimal over from percent. .85.
Now you would multiply .85 times k. B should be the answer.
