Answer:

The answer is $3000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The men's clothing buyer had a group of 50 jackets priced at $250 each.

Total price of jackets = 50\times250=12500 dollars

The buyer reduced the price of the jackets in that group to $200 and 40 jackets were sold.

So, the price for selling 40 jackets is = 40\times200=8000 dollars

Remaining jackets =50-40=10

These were sold at $150 each, totaling to = 10\times150=1500 dollars

So, overall money earned by reducing prices both time = 8000+1500=9500 dollars

And the markdown in dollars = (original price before reducing) minus (educed total price)

= 12500-9500=3000 dollars

So, the answer is $3000.

electricity = (5x + 11) - (2x - 3) 
electricity = 5x + 11 - 2x + 3

Can someone answer this question please please help me I really need it if it’s correct I will mark you brainliest .
sergey [27]

Step 1) Divide the figure into separate shapes

Long rectangle: 27 x 5

Triangle: 3 x 4

Middle rectangle: 15 x 7

Small rectangle: 6 x 3

Step 2) Find the area of each shape

Long rectangle: A = 27 x 5 = 135

Triangle: A = 1/2 x 3 x 4 = 6

Middle rectangle: A = 15 x 7 = 105

Small rectangle: 6 x 3 = 18

Step 3) Add all of the areas together

A = 135 + 6 + 105 + 18 = 264 square feet

Hope this helps! :)

Let T,S be the number of days spent at Tahoe and San Francisco, respectively.

We don't know the values of T and S yet, but we know that the holiday lasted 9 days:

T+S=9

We also know that each day spent in Tahoe costed 350 and each day spent in San Francisco costed 475. So, the total cost of the holiday is the sum of the number of days muliplied by their cost:

350T+475S=3650

If we put the two equations together, we have the system

\begin{cases}T+S=9\\350T+475S=3650\end{cases}

Which yields

S=4,\quad T=5
