The company bought 9 computers and 6 printers

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the number of computers bought

Let "y" be the number of printers bought

cost of 1 computer = $ 585

cost of 1 printer = $ 385

<em><u>The company buys a total of 15 machines</u></em>

Therefore, we can frame a equation as:

number of computers bought + number of printers bought = 15

x + y = 15 ------ eqn 1

<em><u>The company spends $7,575</u></em>

Therefore, we can frame a equation as:

number of computers bought x cost of 1 computer + number of printers bought x cost of 1 printer = 7575

x \times 585 + y \times 385 = 7575

585x + 385y = 7575 ------ eqn 1

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>

From eqn 1,

x = 15 - y --------- eqn 3

<em><u>Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2</u></em>

585(15 - y) + 385y = 7575

8775 - 585y + 385y = 7575

-200y = 7575 - 8775

-200y = -1200

y = 6

<em><u>Substitute y = 6 in eqn 3</u></em>

x = 15 - 6

x = 9

Thus the company bought 9 computers and 6 printers

Leo's townhouse has a market value of $310,000. The property in Leo's area is assessed at 40% of the market value. The tax rate
miss Akunina [59]
Market value = $310,000

Since market value for tax purposes is 40% of the actual market value, 

Market value for tax assessment = $310,000*40%  = $124,000

Tax rate per $1000 of assessed valuation = $145.10  or 14.51% of the assessed value

Hence tax to be paid by leo = $124000*14.51% = $17992.40

How many solutions are there to the system of equations? StartLayout enlarged left-brace 1st row 4 x minus 5 y = 5 2nd row negat
kkurt [141]

Answer:

Only one solution  x=\frac{5}{4},y=0

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-5y=5..............(1)\\0.08x+0.10y=0.10...........(2)

Multiply equation (2) by 50

4x-5y=5........(3)

Now from equation (1)+ equation(3)

8x=10\\x=\frac{10}{8}\\x=\frac{5}{4}

Put the value in equation (1)

5-5y=5\\5y=0\\y=0

hence only one solution exists\left(\frac{5}{4},0\right).

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Perimeter = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

hypotenuse = \sqrt{5^2+12^2}

hypotenuse = \sqrt{25+144}

hypotenuse = \sqrt{169}

hypotenuse = 13

Perimeter = 5+12+13

Perimeter = 30
