Y=7
X=-3
The following graph
Then it would get bigger, thats what makes sense... are there answer choices?
Answer:
x = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
.20x + .68(120 - x) = .54(120) (Distribute .68 to 120 and -x)
.20x + 81.6 - .68x = .54(120) (multiply .54 and 120)
.20x + 81.6 - .68x = 69.6 ( add .20x and -.68x)
-.48x + 81.6 = 69.6 ( subtract 81.6 on each side)
-.48x = -12 (divide -12 by -.48)
x = 25
Answer:
(A) Your friend will save $282.
(B) Your friend will get 23.5% off the original price of the mattress.
Step-by-step explanation:
We first need to find out the price of the mattress after the 15% discount. Our first step is to find what 15% of 1,200 is. We can do this by multiplying the two numbers.
1,200 x 15% -----> 1,200 x 0.15= 180.
15% of $1,200 is $180.
Next subtract $180 from $1,200, which equals $1,020. We can now apply the 10% off internet coupon.
1,020 x 10% ------> 1,020 x 0.10= 102.
10% of $1,020 is $102.
Next we subtract $102 from $1,020 and we get $918, the final price of the discounted mattress.
We subtract to see how much money the friend saved.
$1,200 - $918= $282.
We can get the percentage by dividing $282 by $1,200.
282 / 1200= 0.235 decimal form ----> 23.5%
Answer:
(a) b = (4/7)c
(b) Bill: 40 shingles/hour; Chip: 70 shingles/hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b and c represent Bill's and Chip's rates in shingles per hour, respectively. Then we have ...
7b = 4c
c - b = 30 . . . . shingles per hour difference in rates
(a) Bill's rate in terms of Chip's rate can be found by dividing the first equation by 7
b = (4/7)c . . . . . Bill's rate is 4/7 of Chip's rate
__
(b) To find the rates, we can multiply the second equation by 7 and substitute using the first equation:
7c -7b = 210
7c -4c = 210
c = 210/3 = 70
b = (4/7)(70) = 40
Bill's rate is 40 shingles per hour; Chip's rate is 70 shingles per hour.
