Answer:
<u>The original price of the belt was $ 59.32 and Jonathan paid $ 35 for it.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Amount Jonathan paid for the belt = $ 35
Discount = 1/3 off the regular price
Coupon = additional 8% = 0.08
2. How much did the Gucci belt cost Jonathan? Show your work or explain how you know.
We assume the question is asking for the original price of the belt, then we make this calculation:
Amount Jonathan paid for the belt = (Original price - Discount) - Coupon
Replacing with the values we know:
Original price = x
35 = (x - 1/3x) - 0.08x
35 = 2/3x - 0.08x
35 = 0.67x - 0.08x
35 = 0.59x
x = 35/0.59
x = 59.32
<u>The original price of the belt was $ 59.32 and Jonathan paid $ 35 for it.</u>
Answer:4
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the question only asks for bagels, put the cream-cheese idea aside.
The total spent has to be less than $7 so an equation can be this: $0.75x<$7 where x is the number of bagels
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
4u + 8v = -3u + 2v
Solving 4u + 8v = -3u + 2v
Solving for variable 'u'.
Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '3u' to each side of the equation. 4u + 3u + 8v = -3u + 3u + 2v
Combine like terms: 4u + 3u = 7u 7u + 8v = -3u + 3u + 2v
Combine like terms: -3u + 3u = 0 7u + 8v = 0 + 2v 7u + 8v = 2v
Add '-8v' to each side of the equation. 7u + 8v + -8v = 2v + -8v
Combine like terms: 8v + -8v = 0 7u + 0 = 2v + -8v 7u = 2v + -8v
Combine like terms: 2v + -8v = -6v 7u = -6v
Divide each side by '7'. u = -0.8571428571v
Simplifying u = -0.8571428571v
