Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
--- first discount
--- second discount
Required
Determine the amount paid
First, we add the total discount:
If she got a discount of 40%, then she paid 60% (i.e. 100% - 40%)
So:
Calculate the sales tax
Answer:
34n=306
Step-by-step explanation:
Use inverse operation to find it, 306÷34= 9, check again 34(9)=306, so it's correct!
Answer:
Your missing a number and your answer is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the denominator by the whole number. Make that product the numerator. Let us now revisit the rule for changing a mixed number to an improper fraction<span> (Lesson 20).</span>
System of Equations
Let:
x = number of people that can be seated at a table
y = number of people that can be seated at a booth
The first plan consists of 23 tables and 10 booths and then 228 people could be seated, thus:
23x + 10y = 228
The second plan consists of 12 tables and 12 booths and that way 180 people could be seated, thus:
12x + 12y = 180
The method of elimination requires equating the coefficients of one variable and eliminating it by adding the equations.
Multiply the first equation by 12:
276x + 120y = 2736
Multiply the second equation by -23:
-276x - 276y = -4140
Add the last two equations (the variable x cancels out):
120y - 276y = 2736 - 4140
Simplifying:
-156y = -1404
Dividing by -156:
y = -1404/(-156)
y = 9
Substitute this value in the first equation:
23x + 10(9) = 228
Operate:
23x + 90 = 228
Subtract 90:
23x = 138
Divide by 23:
x = 138/23
x = 6
Every table can seat 6 people, and every booth can seat 9 people
