The answer is no. Because solution (a,b) means x=a, y=b.and we have a-b=5. And (b,a) would mean x=b and y=a but then x-y=b-a=-(a-b)=-5≠5. So the pair (b,a) is not a solution.
Answer:
Rs 8500
Step-by-step explanation:
For a cost price of c, the marked price is ...
marked = c +25%·c = 1.25c
After the 15% discount, the sale price will be ...
s = marked -15%·marked = 0.85·marked = (0.85)(1.25c) = 1.0625c
The profit will be the difference between the sale price s and the cost c:
p = s -c
500 = (1.0625c) -c = 0.0625c
Then the cost is ...
500/0.0625 = c = 8000
and the sale price is ...
s = c +p = 8000 +500 = 8500 . . . rupees
The selling price will be Rs 8500.
B. looks like the way to go.
For one apple pie, Mimi needs 2 cups of flour and 3 cups of apples, which is 5 cups in all, in order to produce how many cups she would need to make five pies you simply times the number given, number of cups, by 5. So you times 2 by 5, which is 10 and 3 by 5, which is 15 and together that makes 25 cups, 10 cups of flour and 15 cups of apples. If you had three cups of flour and needed to make 20 pies, all you would do is times three by 20, which is 60.
Hope I explained this correctly, if you need any more help, please ask.
