Answer:

116%

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost Price (C. P.) = $500

Selling Price (S. P.) = $1080

Profit = SP - CP = $1080 - $500 = $580

Profit percent

$= \frac{Profit}{CP} \times 100 \\ \\ = \frac{580}{500} \times 100 \\ \\ = \frac{580}{5} \\ \\ = 116 \%$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x=-y+6&(1)\\-4x+3y=8&(2)\end{array}\right\\\\(1)\\-y+6=2x\qquad\text{subtract 6 from both sides}\\-y=2x-6\qquad\text{change the signs}\\y=6-2x\\\\\text{substitute it to (2):}\\\\(2)\\-4x+3(6-2x)=8\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\-4x+(3)(6)+(3)(-2x)=8\\-4x+18-6x=8\qquad\text{subtract 18 from both sides}\\-10x=-10\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-10)}\\x=1\\\\\text{put the value of x to (1):}\\\\y=6-2(1)\\y=6-2\\y=4$
