Answer:

For the ratio between the price of the phones to be 9:11, the price of Emma's phone must decrease from $ 560 to $ 523.66. That is, the price of Emma's phone should decrease $ 36,364

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, call x on Emma's phone and z on Sophie's phone.

We know that the price relationship between x and z is 7: 8

This means that:

\frac{7}{8} =\frac{x}{z}

We know that the price of Sophie's phone is $ 640

Entoces z = 640  

Now we clear x

\frac{7}{8} =\frac{x}{640}\\ x =640}\frac{7}{8}=560\\ x = 560

Then, if the new relationship is 9:11 then:

\frac{9}{11} =\frac{x}{640}

x = $523,636

For the ratio between the price of the phones to be 9:11, the price of Emma's phone must decrease from $ 560 to $ 523.66. That is, the price of Emma's phone should decrease $ 36,364

Let cost of Emma's phone = x

Given that cost of Sophie's phone = 640

Then ratio of their phones cost will be x:640 or x/640

Given that ratio of their phones cost is 7:8 or 7/8

So both ratios will be equal.

\frac{x}{640}=\frac{7}{8}

x=\frac{7}{8}*640

x=560


So the new ratio of the cost of their phones will be 560:640

Now we have to find about how much should the prices of their phones decrease in order to have a ratio of 9:11.

So let that decreased amount is k then we will get equation :

\frac{560-k}{640-k}=\frac{9}{11}

11(560-k)=9(640-k)

6160-11k=5760-9k

6160-5760=11k-9k

400=2k

200=k


Hence final answer is prices of their phones should decrease by 200 in order to have a ratio of 9:11.

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It's 5/7

You get that by having a calculator that does that. If you don't then the way to do it is multiply the numerator and denominator by 1.25

4 * 1.25 = 5

5.6 * 1.25 = 7

Solve the system of equation <br> Y=4x-11<br> Y=x+13<br><br> X=<br><br><br> Y =
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

(8,21)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both equations equal y, set both equaitions equal to each other

and solve for x

4x-11=x+13 , subtract x from both sides

3x-11=13, add eleven to both sides

3x=24, divide both sides by 3 to get x alone

x=8

Substitute x=8 into either equation to solve for y

y=4(8)-11

y=32-11

y=21
