Answer:
<em>The man paid $200 for the cow</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>System of Equations</u>
Let's call:
x = price of the cow
y = price of the horse
The man bought the cow and the horse for $500, thus
x + y = 500 [1]
The cow was sold at a profit of 10%, thus:
Sale price of the cow= 1.1x
The horse was sold at a loss of 10%, thus:
Sale price of the horse= 0.9y
The total operation was a 2% loss, i.e. 0.98*500=490. Thus, we have:
1.1x + 0.9y = 490 [2]
From [1]:
y = 500 - x
Substituting in [2]:
1.1x + 0.9(500 - x) = 490
Operating:
1.1x + 450 - 0.9x = 490
0.2x = 490 - 450 = 40
x = 40/0.2
x = 200
The man paid $200 for the cow
Answer:
A. 2/5, 0.40, 40%
Step-by-step explanation:
To turn a fractions into a decimal divided the numerator by the denominator. 2/5=0.40.
The slope-intercept form:
m - slope
b - y-intercept
We have m = 2 and b = 3. Substitute:
The answer is 0.65
This is the same as 1.3/2 since the decimal must be moved one place to the right for both divisor and dividend.
Answer:
45 percent
Step-by-step explanation:
20-11=9
9 divided by 20= 0.45
0.45 x 100= 45%
