Answer:

11 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 24

y = -x +24

x - y = 2

y = x - 2

x - 2 = -x + 24

2x = 26

x = 13

x + y = 24

13 + y = 24

y = 11

11 + 13 = 26

their difference = 2 (13-11)

NNADVOKAT [17]

Statement 1 : Gail bought a $45 sweater at 1/3 off.

Discount in Sweater Purchase:

$\frac{1}{3} \; of \; 45 = \frac{1}{3} \times 45 \; = \;\frac{45}{3} =\$15$

Statement 2: Gail can use her 12% employee discount once a week and used her discount on the suit priced at $140.

Discount in Suit Purchase:

$12\% \; of \; 140 =\frac{12}{100} \times 140 = 0.12 \times 140 = \$16.8$

Conclusion:

Discount in Suit Purchase ($16.8) is greater than Discount in Sweater Purchase ($15)
