It should be 40 percent.
You can think of it as starting with 100 as in 100 dollars or 100 tic tacs
If you take away 25%, you take away 25 tic tacs and now you only have 75.
From your 75, you take away 20% which is equal to 15. 75- 15=60
If you look at the end result of 60, you can see that that is 100 - 40 so 40% of the total was taken off
Answer:
(-3, -4)
Step-by-step explanation:
y= -4
so you plus y in for the y=2x+2 equation where you get x=-3
Answer:
trees cost $15
Shrub cost $7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Rita paid $82 for 5 trees and 1 shrub
5x+y= 82---------1
Lilly bought 2 trees and 1 shrub for $37
2x+y= 37----------2
from 1
y= 82-5x
put the value of y in 2
2x+82-5x= 37
2x-5x= 37-82
-3x=-45
x= 45/3
x=$15
put the value of x in 1
5(x)+y= 82
5*15+y=82
75+y=82
y=82-75
y=$7
Hence, trees cost $15
Shrub cost $7
