Let the price of flowers in September be x, then (100 + 20)/100 * x = $1.50
120/100 * x = $1.50
1.2x = $1.50
x = $1.50/1.2 = $1.25
The price of flowers in September is $1.25

Total money realised in September = $1.25 x 900 = $1,125
40% earned = 0.4 x $1,125 = $450

Total money realised in October = $1.50 x 700 = $1,050
40% earned = 0.4 x $1,050 = $420

The class earned more money in September and they earned $30 more than in October.

Follow the directions to solve the system of equations by elimination.
omeli [17]

Answer:

X= 1/2 Y= 5

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+7y=39-------------(1)--------×2

4x-14y= -68-----------(2)-------×1

16X + 14Y = 78--------(3)

4X- 14Y = -68----------(4)

Addy equation (4) and (3)

20X = 10

dividing bothsides by 20

20X/20= 10/20

X = 1/2

substitute the value of X into equation (1)

8X+7Y = 39

8(1/2)+7Y= 39

4+7Y = 39

7Y = 39-4

7Y = 35

dividing bothsides 7

7Y= 35/7

Y = 5
