X = shorter piece
y = longer piece = 5x

shorter piece + longer piece = 60
x + 5x = 60
6x = 60
x = 60/6
x = 10  in. <== shorter piece

y = 5x
y = 5(10)
y = 50 in. <== longer piece

A company’s sales decreased 5% this year to $6,585. What were their sales last year?
Feliz [49]

Answer:

$6932

Step-by-step explanation:

Let last year's sales = x.  Since there was a decrease of 5%, that means this year's sales are 95% of last year's sales.

So, .95x = 6585

x = 6932 to the nearest dollar
